A local restaurant in Karachi is facing criticism for charging high prices for locally made water bottles. Recently, a customer expressed frustration after being charged Rs. 80 for a small water bottle. This price is almost the same or even higher than the cost of international brands.
This situation is especially upsetting for many people who are boycotting international brands, hoping to support local products and find cheaper options. Instead, they are finding that local brands are charging high prices despite having lower production costs. This has led to growing dissatisfaction among customers.
Many people feel that there is a big gap between what they expected to pay for local products and the actual prices. They hoped that buying local would be more affordable, but the high prices have caused concern and frustration.
This issue highlights the need for more reasonable pricing from local brands to meet customer expectations and support the local economy.
