A restaurant in Changsha was charged 5 yuan tea fee, and the waiter said that boiled water should also be charged.

when Mr. Hong was spending money in a restaurant in the IFC, he was forced to pay the tea fee!

the waiter said that no matter whether tea is needed or not, you have to pay for tea in this restaurant!

so is it reasonable for diners to be charged for boiled water when they go to restaurants?

"It's unreasonable and illegal. Diners go to restaurants to eat, and restaurants don't have to provide boiled water, but they can't force diners to pay for boiled water and force transactions. It is a violation of consumers' right of independent choice and fair trade, which is already an illegal act, a overlord clause and an illegal and invalid transaction.

article 11 of the consumer protection law provides that consumers have the right to fair trade. When purchasing goods or receiving services, consumers have the right to obtain fair trading conditions such as quality assurance, reasonable price and correct measurement, and have the right to refuse the compulsory trading behavior of operators.

Similarly, Article 35 of the Law on Consumer Protection Rights and Interests also stipulates that consumers may claim compensation from the service providers if their legitimate rights and interests are damaged while receiving services.

In addition, the Regulations on the Protection of Consumers' Rights and Interests in Hunan Province clearly stipulates that restaurants are not allowed to charge or charge in disguised form the table fee, bottle opening fee and minimum consumption.

At the same time, it is clearly stated that catering operators should provide tableware that meets the hygienic conditions for consumers.

Refuse

Therefore, if you encounter such unreasonable behavior in dining, you can refuse to pay the bill for illegal transactions.
