It is reported that the fine of more than 9,000 yuan actually includes two parts: one is to confiscate its illegal income of 42 12 yuan, and the other is to impose a fine of 5,000 yuan on the merchant.

The law enforcement basis of the local market supervision department is to quote Article 35 of the Regulations on the Protection of Consumers' Rights and Interests in Jiangsu Province: "Catering operators shall clearly state the prices, quantities and specifications of the goods and services provided to consumers in a significant way.

No fees shall be charged without prior explicit notice. Catering operators should provide tableware that meets the hygiene standards, and operators who use centralized disinfection sets to collect tableware should also provide free tableware for consumers to choose from. "

The Regulations on the Protection of Consumers' Rights and Interests in Jiangsu Province actually contains three clear messages:

First, "providing tableware that meets hygiene standards" is the professional obligation of catering operators and belongs to free service projects; Second, operators need to "provide free tableware" when "collecting tableware with centralized disinfection sets".

In other words, consumers cannot be forced to use rechargeable tableware; Third, operators need to clearly mark the prices, quantities and specifications of the goods and services they provide, and must not engage in black-box operations or invisible consumption.

These requirements are obviously to protect consumers' right to know, to choose and to know the legitimate rights and interests of consumption. This illegal restaurant did not provide consumers with free tableware, nor did it clearly inform them that it was not unfair to be punished by the market supervision department.

The above contents refer to people's information-"2 yuan tableware fee was fined 9,000" is a law popularization class.
