New Delhi: A popular cafe in Bengaluru has sparked a social media debate after putting up a notice banning "long meetings" on its premises, warning customers of a Rs 1,000 charge for every additional hour spent beyond the stipulated time. The post, captioned, "Saw this notice posted at an eatery in Bengaluru", garnered nearly 40,000 views.
