But, seems that some famous food chains like McDonalds and Starbucks are not happy with this announcement.

Reacting to that, many customers have expressed their dissatisfaction. Read further to know how these big food chains got trolled on Twitter.

Here Comes The Explanation
The Government has brought down GST from 18% to 5%, but there has been a removal of Input Tax Credit.[1/3]

Termed As The Most Lousiest Explanation
That’s the most lousiest explanation I have ever come across! Price to customer should reduce! Price it at 120 and pay 6 rupees tax (5% of 120) to government. Transaction value becomes 126.Instead you are raising price. Complete illogical
