Amid the coronavirus outbreak, as people across the world are being advised to maintain social distancing, a unique ‘Jugaad’ at an Indian liquor shop is winning the internet. Shared by Indian billionaire businessman Anand Mahindra, the one-minute-long video shows the entire money transaction that takes plays between the customer and the seller through a green plastic bottle that is sent back and forth via cardboard pipe. Moreover, the clip shows how the person in the video collects the beer bottles after receiving the change. Calling it “clever but crude”, Mahindra notes the opportunity for a contactless design for stores. The short clip has already garnered over 201k views and the internet users are amused by the “innovation”.
This clip’s been circulating for a bit. Clever,but crude,so it points to an opportunity for aesthetic ‘contactless’ storefront design. The future is Bluetooth-enabled shelf-browsing+chute-enabled cash exchange & delivery to your waiting hands/car. @PininfarinaSpA @tech_mahindra pic.twitter.com/gGF2jUYs7l

Netizens impressed
The contactless way of the shopkeeper and the customer has not only amused the internet users but some of them were even amazed at the ‘creativity’. Many even noted that such ‘miraculous’ things can ‘only happen in India’. One of the Twitter mocked that he assumed the beer would come out of the pipe but the video shows that shop owner sends two beer bottles through the pipe which are cautiously collected by the customer. Some other netizens pointed out that innovation is limitless.

That's interesting! I've always imagined a shop like Amazon GO with some additional provisions like cash transfer for people who use cash as their primary mode of payment. giving such feature would enable business model like this to be profitable in tier 2 and tier 3 cities. 😅

I waited with as much 'bated beerath' as him hoping the bottle didn't slip in the catch!

A pillow in the tub may have saved some anxious moments, but then where's the thrill :)
This is innovative thought!

Agreed... But here there is dual contact... Although only one end could be seen... Other can only be imagined
