An individual said, "That bill amount is my monthly salary."

Another said, "Now on a serious note, You should file an FIR, because recently an IAS aspirant has filed a case against such rackets and has exposed them from owner to waiter, girl everyone, they've told similar scams run in Mumbai, Hyderabad and other Metro Cities, so on that basis you/your friend can get your money back and get justice. Good luck, buddy."

"Were the 18 Jager bombs actually ordered? Or does it just show up on the bill as 18? CCTV maybe to prove? It's a tough situation. How do you prove you've been scammed? Unless you're sure you didn't order that many shots, you still need a witness or evidence," commented a third.
