It is very common to encounter hot pot assassins. People who often eat hot pot have encountered it, and of course I am no exception. In fact, not only the food is particularly expensive, but also there are many routines that you can't prevent.
I'm sure everyone has encountered such an experience when eating hot pot buffet, but they find that they have to pay a lot more when checking out. The reason given by the merchants is that only the dishes are free to eat, and others, including spices, drinks, pot bottoms, etc., are all charging items, so that the amount of dishes accounts for a minority, while other amounts account for the majority. The response of many self-help hot pot restaurant owners is that if the bottom of the pot is not charged separately, then I won't lose money? However, if others are not informed in advance, it is suspected of deceiving consumers. In addition, many hot pot restaurants in the market always have a variety of routines that consumers can't prevent. For example, there are real shrimps in shrimp slides, but they are not necessarily fresh shrimps.
As a kind of hot pot food that everyone loves, the popularity of shrimp paste is very high, but in the market, we will find that many merchants will say that they bought fresh shrimp on the same day for publicity, but in fact they sell the price of fresh shrimp with low-priced shrimp, and the profit margin in the middle can be imagined, or directly purchase semi-finished products, which is very common in the market now. So I seldom go out to eat now. When I want to eat hot pot, I buy some ingredients to eat at home with my relatives and friends. It is hygienic and clean, especially convenient, and it can save a lot of money. In fact, it is quite suitable.
