I have been charged for meals, and more than once. Nanchang, a catering company was fined 50,000 yuan for charging a dining space fee

According to related media reports, Jiangxi Cloudland Ecological Garden Catering Management Co., Ltd. was complained for charging consumers a participation fee and service fee, Nanchang New District Municipal Supervisory Bureau of the company fined 50,000 yuan RMB. Another staff member reminded, if in the process of consumption in the merchants charged dining space and service fees, or tableware sterilization fees and other unreasonable costs, consumers can refuse to pay, and call 12315 to report complaints, market supervision departments will be punished on the relevant business.

I have been charged for my meals, and I've been charged more than once for my participation in the conference.

When I saw this news, I actually can't believe it, because in the process of my dining out, everything a little bit bigger merchants will basically charge booth fees or tableware sterilization fees. I've been charged more than once for booth fees and sterilized tableware, and I'm still being charged for that at this stage when I go out to eat.

Personally, I feel that this has become a regular charge, and in reality, if you're not willing to pay something like a booth fee, you probably won't be able to find a suitable place to eat at all. The same goes for the tableware sterilization fee, which is basically two dollars per person for consumers, and I've never seen anyone object to it, even if it's a staff member from the relevant department who comes to the restaurant to eat, and is charged for that as well.

Perhaps in real life someone really does need to take this seriously, but if you do, your dining experience will definitely be greatly affected. If you really want to change this situation, perhaps the regulator should strengthen the supervision, strengthen the punishment, and clearly stipulate below, otherwise it is difficult to be prohibited.

There are too many extra costs in the restaurant industry, and this is probably one of the reasons why the industry is not doing so well at this stage. The consumer may be fooled once or twice, but not always.
