Pune: A Reddit post from an alleged former Zepto employee has taken the internet by storm, shedding light on some shocking realities behind the scenes of one of India’s fastest-growing quick commerce platforms.
The ex-employee said that they spent three years at zepto, insisting they “can’t stay silent anymore.” They described a troubling environment where speed came before safety and hygiene.
“Once, a customer ordered Greek yogurt. We had only three left, and all were expired. But our store manager said, ‘Just give it to them anyway.’”
The post paints a grim picture of Zepto’s stores, claiming they’re far from clean. “Every monsoon, our Pune store floods with gutter water—right where we pack your groceries. We’ve spent over nine hours standing in that filthy water without shoes,” the employee shares. They mentioned that many workers got sick, yet none received any medical support.
According to the post, many fruits and vegetables arrive “damaged and rotting” but are still sent out to customers. “Expired products are dispatched without a second thought,” they claim.
But the issues don’t stop at hygiene. “Zepto isn’t just unhygienic; it’s unethical,” they assert. “Customers deserve to know what’s really going on.”
