With the deepening of the anti-four winds campaign and the launching of "CD Action" in various places, table waste has been effectively curbed. However, a few days ago, the reporter visited a number of food and beverage streets in Beijing, Hangzhou, Guangzhou and other cities and found that food and beverage waste showed some new signs and trends, and there is still a long way to go to advocate frugality. ?
The whole chicken and duck were dumped on the dining table
On the weekend night, the reporter went to the famous Shengli River Food Street in Hangzhou, where more than 51 restaurants and food stalls gathered, attracting individual tourists from all over the country. A restaurant chain named "Old Man Fried Shrimp" has a booming business. The reporter saw that the "CD Action" had both joys and sorrows. The joy was that the waiters walking through were holding packing boxes from time to time. The worry was that after the guests left, there were still many dishes left on the table, and some even moved a few chopsticks. Li Fei, a staff member, said that this store belongs to the middle-class consumption, and the customers basically pay for it themselves. Relatively speaking, the waste phenomenon will not be so serious, but it still exists. ?
In Guijie, a well-known food street in Beijing, more than 21 tables in an "Ice City Barbecue Shop" were always full, and a new guest took the table immediately after someone checked out. The reporter observed in the store for about 31 minutes and found that there were more or less food and drinks left at each table, and some left seven or eight kebabs. Only a few diners who have left have packed. When the family of three left, a plate full of fried rice with eggs did not move a few mouthfuls. ?
The reporter saw in front of the "Chuanweiguan" restaurant in Hangzhou that a garbage cleaning truck was collecting kitchen garbage. When the trash can was opened and dumped, pieces of meat were exposed and half of the fish was eaten. A cleaner who is carrying garbage cans said, "It's like this every night, and so are most stores. Sometimes you can see complete chickens and ducks."
behind the poor dining table are "tickets", "face" and "plates"?
the reporter found that the consumption concept of young people under abundant living conditions, the "hospitality" due to face-saving and the "connivance" of restaurants to diners for profit have become the main reasons for the difficulty in "CD-ROM". ?
the change of "ticket". Li Fei, a staff member of the "Old Man Fried Shrimp" restaurant, told reporters that middle-aged and elderly people are relatively frugal, but young people have no concept of saving when ordering food. "I have worked here for more than a year, and I rarely see young people packing it." Several young diners in Beijing told reporters that now that living conditions are good, they don't feel bad about eating out and spending money. They are usually busy at work and don't start a business at home. Even if they pack up and go back, they won't eat any more, which is often "rotten in the refrigerator". ?
The reporter met Lao Wang, a staff member who was transporting kitchen waste, at the entrance of "Jin Chan Xiao Shancheng Hotpot Restaurant" in Beijing. He pushed a big bucket of kitchen waste onto a tricycle with some difficulty. According to Lao Wang, there are 11 barrels of kitchen waste in one night, including a lot of leftovers. "If you have money, you can eat more and eat less. What a waste!" ?
the concern of "face". Ding Boss, the operator of Wenzhou Seafood Food Stall in Shengli River Food Street, said that the food stalls are basically a group of friends who come to eat and drink beer together, and they can't get by without face, and the seafood catering soup is too watery and inconvenient to carry, and generally no one asks for packaging. For the sake of "style" and "face", the waste of weddings and funerals is also widespread. A staff member of a five-star hotel told reporters that the wedding banquet pursues "top grade", and now expensive dishes such as Australian lobster, red star spot, shark's fin and blue crab are popular, because guests are embarrassed to pack, and the leftovers are basically poured directly into the slop bucket. ?
The chairman of a large national hotel chain said that many wedding banquets are still about ostentation and extravagance. The hotel originally planned to launch a series of 6 dishes and 1 soups for the wedding banquet, and promised that the dishes were not enough for free, but consumers still insisted on 12 dishes and 1 soups, which generally caused 25% to 31% waste. ?
the lure of "plate". When visiting Shengli River, Guijie Street and China Food City, the reporter found that there were not many restaurants offering small dishes and half dishes. Many diners said that in fact, they don't want to waste food. They finally went out to eat a "toothache" at the weekend and always wanted to eat more dishes, but they often couldn't finish eating because the dishes in the restaurant were too big. ?
In addition to the "big plate", many restaurants are not active in advocating economy. In the self-help hotpot restaurant "Old Beijing Instant-boiled Mutton" in Guangzhou China Food City, every dining table and bar is affixed with the sign "Refuse to waste, 31 yuan will be added for those who waste more than 211g, 61 yuan will be added for those who waste more than 411g, and so on". However, the waiter admitted that the restaurant business has not been very good in recent years, and this fine has never been really implemented. ?
"CD Action" is facing a new blind spot and a new trend of waste, which needs urgent attention.
Since the launch of "CD Action" for four years, "waste on the tip of the tongue" has aroused widespread concern and has been obviously reversed, but there have also been some new waste trends.
In some places, the wedding banquet process is more and more, and the time is prolonged, which aggravates the waste of catering. The reporter found in interviews with several high-end hotels in Hangzhou that although the admission time of wedding banquets is generally around 18: 11, it is generally not served until 19: 11 or even later, and many guests leave after attending the previous wedding procedures, resulting in a waste of food at most tables.
New marketing methods such as "free snacks" and "discount online orders" also bring new waste. At 8 o'clock in the evening, the gates of the three branches of "Hu Da Crayfish" in Beijing were full of equal diners. There are free snacks and tea at the entrance of the hotel for others to take at will, and half a cup of snacks are discarded everywhere on the ground and in nearby trash cans. In addition, in some chain restaurants in Beijing and Hangzhou, orders for "Hungry", "Meituan Takeaway" and "Baidu Takeaway" have been heard one after another. The reporter found that most of these take-away restaurants offer discounts such as "21 yuan less than 111 yuan" and "31 yuan less than 151 yuan". "Sometimes you have to order more in order to make up the bill. There is no refrigerator in the dormitory and you can't keep it. It's a waste." Xiao Zhu, a college student who often orders takeout, said.
With the decrease of public money consumption in high-end hotels, diners who eat in low-end hotels have gradually become the main body of waste. Reporters in Hangzhou found that several seafood stalls on xiangji temple Road attracted many guests. After the guests dispersed, there were even whole fish left on some tables. The food waste transporter in Guijie, Beijing calculated an account for the reporter. The weight of a bucket of kitchen waste is about 1.51 kg. There are about 51 restaurants in Guijie, and the whole street produces nearly 1.9 tons of meal waste in one night.
Yang Jianhua, director of the research center of Zhejiang Academy of Social Sciences, said that since the implementation of "CD Action", the waste on the dining table has obviously improved. However, judging from the current situation, many consumers, especially some young people, have not yet formed the habit of advocating thrift. On the one hand, we should continue to increase the propaganda of "CD Action" and let "CD" become people's conscious action; On the other hand, restaurants and online ordering platforms should establish a thrifty consumption reminder system, innovate services such as "half-serving dishes", and let the "CD Action" go on and on.
a porridge and a meal is hard to come by; Half a silk and half a wisp, it is difficult to keep thinking about material resources. Let everyone take action and truly implement the CD-ROM action.
