I've met it, and I've met it many times! I didn't know that the tea fee could be refunded before, but now I know that I feel cheated? Proper invisible consumption routines.
I'm in Guangdong, and I've paid for tea places countless times. I won't talk about going out to hotel restaurants to collect tea places before, because many hotels collect tea places in this way, which has caused me this kind of cognitive illusions. I think it's reasonable to collect tea places, and I probably think these places are high-end ... Some even charge tea places as high as 6 yuan/person, although I think it's expensive, but I haven't questioned it.
you have to charge for tea when you go to the food stall for a midnight snack later! 2 yuan/bit, I have a career in my heart. Why is the catering industry always doing this routine? Usually, going to a restaurant with friends for morning tea also costs 2-5 yuan for tea.
Later, I went out for morning tea with a friend I haven't seen for a long time. I talked about the tea table fee in small talk, and she said that the tea table fee is getting more and more expensive now. You won't be unaware of it, will you? I just froze, because I really don't know! I quickly asked her how to return it, didn't I have to collect it? She said that I am stupid and have a lot of money, so just be tough and tell the other party that it is illegal to collect tea fees!
later, I learned that the original tea table fee can be refunded, and so can the napkins handed over two yuan/bag before the dishes are served! According to Article 9 of the Law on the Protection of Consumers' Rights and Interests, consumers have the right to choose their own operators to provide goods or services, choose their own varieties of goods or services, and decide whether to buy or not to buy any kind of goods or accept or not to accept any kind of services.
that is to say, you can choose not to buy tea fees, and if the merchants force you to spend, it will violate your legal rights. The most common pit you step on is that the tea fee is not stated on the menu, but it is indicated when you collect the bill, and many people may ignore this tea fee when they pay the bill, so you don't know if it is charged.
If there is a clearly marked price on the menu, you can ask the waiter for disposable tableware. You always have to provide you with tableware when you eat in the store, don't you? Disposable chopsticks are free, and I think they are much cleaner than those that are consumed and repackaged.
Suppose the cashier says that all places charge tea fees in this way. Don't be timid. Ask the other person gently but firmly: Which law stipulates it? Isn't it natural to provide tableware when you come to the store for consumption? Otherwise, how can you eat? Generally, many businesses will return to avoid trouble. Assuming that the other party is still unwilling to return, then pay and keep the consumption bill, call 12315 to complain and let the special department rectify it.
so, we have to say no to the tea table fee! Especially when many people go out to eat, a person charges a few yuan for tea, which is not a small sum, so don't spend this money!
