Getting groceries delivered at home using online platforms has become a common and convenient practice in many cities. However, experience often leads to some unexpected circumstances. In a recent Reddit post, a user (@yashwantptl7) from Bengaluru shared his unusual experience of ordering groceries from Instamart. In the post, the user revealed that after delivering his order, the agent asked for an onion. The customer decided to deliver the onion to the agent but found the request strange and confusing. “So this is what happened. In the evening I discussed with my wife what items we needed, I ordered them. The delivery guy came to the door at the expected time,” the Redditor shared.
Sharing the conversation, she said, “After greeting him with thanks, he said: Sir, can I have an onion? Me: Q? He: Just like that, to eat. Me: Okay… After getting one onion, I asked… won’t you do any tantra mantra?? He: No sir (with an innocent smile). [After greeting him with thanks, he said: Sir, can I get an onion? Me: why? He: Just like that, to eat. Me: okay…..after getting an onion, I asked… You won’t do any black magic with it brother? He: No sir (with an innocent smile)],

The confused Redditor then asked, “Has anyone else experienced this? Can anyone explain why it asked for this?”
