Chennai: Online Food Agregator Zomato faces Twitter counterattack on Tuesday after customer service executives quotes “language results” as a reason why he can’t start a refund and declare “everyone must know Hindi language” like that “national language”.
Zomato, who originally apologized and stopped the employee service, then returned it.

It all started on Monday night, when the Zomato user from Tamil Nadu ordered food from a local restaurant.
When he found one of the food food he had lost, he sought help from customer service.
