I think many people have met the tea fee when they go to restaurants, because now when they go to shopping malls, they will charge for tea or meals. The store said that as long as you enter the store, you will be charged according to the number of people.

Whether you drink tea or not, you have to collect money. As I explained, the tea table fee also includes the provision of tableware. Show me the menu, saying that the price tag clearly says 3 yuan/person for tea table and 2 yuan/bag for paper towels. I don't understand. I can accept the dipping fee in teahouses, hot pot restaurants and barbecues, as well as the tea table fee (table fee) for snacks, fruits and snacks I really consume, but I just can't accept an ordinary tea table fee that doesn't provide anything for my consumption.

Tea fee is a common charging item in high-end consumer places. Even if you don't drink tea, you have to charge for drinking boiled water. So from a legal point of view, is there a legal basis for this tea fee? Can I get a refund for tea?

The expert's opinion is that it can be handled in two situations. If you drink tea, the place where you spend money to buy tea is ok. But if you don't drink tea or even boiled water, it is unreasonable for restaurants to ask customers to pay for tea.

First, it is suspected of forced consumption. I'll treat you to tea when you come, which violates the provisions of the Consumer Protection Law.

Second, it violates the relevant provisions of the standard contract in the Civil Code, excludes the customer's right to choose and increases the customer's responsibility.
