Twitter user Krish Ashok shared an episode he experienced in Chennai which sheds light on how the big currency note is being misused or rather used. Ashok tweeted that he was travelling in an Uber cab and while crossing the OMR toll plaza, the driver asked him if he has the new note. He gave the driver the note who then showed it to the toll worker. The worker asked them to leave without paying the tax because he didn’t have any change. “Uber driver asks if I have a 2K note. I ask why. He says, watch. Offers it to the toll guy who gives it back & says it’s ok, no toll. Go on,” read his tweet which has gone viral with over 2,000 retweets. “And yes, it goes without saying that if you are in an Uber, you don’t get to profit, only the driver does. Uber still automatically charges,” he added.
