The post has garnered over 18,000 likes since being shared. This has sparked outrage among internet users, with many arguing that residents should have the basic courtesy of coming down to pick up their orders themselves. Some users even wrote, “This is discrimination”.

“Can you use a ladder to deliver food or delivery bags up to the 20th floor? I wonder, no… Just because they need this job. Doesn’t mean you’ll be taken advantage of. They Humans are too. And if a society wants the usage to be easily managed, then the cost adds up,” wrote one user.

“Swiggy, Zomato and other delivery guys should start charging customers extra according to their floor if they don’t allow them to use lifts. Society gates,” said another.

A third suggested, “It would be better if all Swiggy, Zomato and delivery people are asked to drop the food/items near the security guard or outside at the main gate, and mark it as delivered.” Will do well.”

A user also revealed that the notice has been put up in a housing society in Delhi.
