When I was a child, I was pulled out of bed by adults early in the morning to have morning tea. Laojiefang likes "one cup and two pieces" when going to the teahouse. Here, the cup refers to "tea" and the two pieces refer to snacks. Therefore, morning tea, tea and snacks are indispensable. It has gradually become the default
for Guangdong catering industry to charge for tea in restaurants. Now, some people have questioned that the tea fee is already a "overlord clause". Really? You drank tea and water from the restaurant, all of which cost money. Isn't it reasonable to collect money? How did it become a disguised charge?
Earlier, the Public Opinion Survey Report on the Charge of Tea Places in Catering Industry in Guangzhou released by Guangzhou Consumer Council showed that the basic tea place fee in Guangzhou catering industry has formed a "overlord clause", but it is actually a disguised charge. According to the suggestion put forward by the Consumer Council, there is no need to impose uniformity on the fees for tea places, and they should be treated differently from special tea markets.
The most interesting thing is that some old neighborhoods don't buy this proposal, which seems to benefit Guangzhou neighborhoods, and even defend the "tea place fee"
Supporters' point of view:
It is ignorance of Guangfu morning tea culture to cancel the tea place fee.
Opponents' opinion:
Free choice should be respected as well as old rules. It is not across the board to cancel the "tea fee" and should be treated differently from the tea market.
Moreover, the tea fee is no longer a "privilege" for drinking morning tea. You have to charge for eating food stalls, lunch and dinner. Even some non-local restaurants in Guangzhou "do as the Romans do" and put away the tea fee. It's not the overlord clause.
Whether the tea fee is charged or not is not only a matter of money, but also involves consumers' free choice. If I don't drink tea myself, or I am allergic to tea, I don't take up the drop of tea. This can't be justified ~
Besides, it's ok for you to charge for tea in the morning, and it's also a respect for tradition. However, it's unreasonable for you to charge for tea in the afternoon or in the evening, go down to the food stalls and go to star-rated restaurants, and even hot pot restaurants and Japanese food shops, which don't have this tradition. When you come to Guangzhou, do as the Romans do.
Just like the previous saying that "this restaurant refuses to bring its own drinks", it is the overlord clause, which also violates the right of consumers to choose freely!
