Beijing: Restaurants refuse to bring their own drinks, which is not supported. In view of the unreasonable phenomena in the catering industry, such as refusing consumers to bring their own drinks and charging customers to open bottles, the Municipal Consumers Association and the Municipal Catering Industry Association have recently reached an agreement, and the two sides jointly issued a notice saying that they do not advocate setting up the clause of "refusing to bring their own drinks".

The two associations believe that giving consideration to the legitimate rights and interests of both consumers and operators is an important way to solve this problem. In the process of providing catering services, operators have the right to price the goods they sell and the services they provide, which is the inevitable embodiment of catering enterprises' autonomy and pursuit of profits. However, while making profits, enterprises should also fulfill their social responsibilities. Some catering enterprises refused to bring their own drinks in the form of store notices, forced consumers to accept high-priced drinks, and charged unreasonable fees for their own drinks, which objectively violated consumers' independent choice and fair trade rights. At the same time, consumers should not interfere with the legitimate rights and interests of enterprises when exercising their rights, but should understand and recognize the pursuit of reasonable profits by enterprises.

The reporter interviewed dozens of consumers, many of whom said that as long as the price of drinks in the hotel is not higher than 30% of the normal price, it is acceptable. If the price can be set within the range of 10% to 20% higher than the market price, you will not consider going to the restaurant to consume drinks. ;
