The comments section was full of laughing emojis and hilarious remarks. Many were amused by the idea of paying Indian currency to buy Indian groceries. When asked if the cashier took the Indian rupees, the foreign woman revealed that she did not, but she did laugh. In response to another comment, she joked that "It would be nice to get the change in Euros." Some users joined in, saying that they felt that the shopkeeper should have accepted it, nevertheless. One person suggested that she should be charged the Indian MRP instead of the foreign price if she has rupees with her.
