In Guangdong and other places, drinking morning tea is a catering culture. A family, old or young, or about three or five friends, make a pot of tea in the restaurant, order some delicious refreshments, talk about home and business, and sit for most of the day. Some traditional tea houses and Cantonese-style morning tea shops have specially equipped special tea sets for tea drinkers. For example, every dining table is equipped with a kettle, a tea tray, a tea leak and a teacup. In Guangdong, there are some tea drinking manners among the people. For example, there is no water in the teapot, so customers only need to open the lid of the teapot and a waiter will come to refill the water. Over time, Cantonese-style morning tea shops have also formed a common practice of charging tea fees by default. ? Guangdong restaurant forced to charge for tea? The situation has been vomited by many netizens in Guangdong. In this regard, we visited 14 restaurants in Guangzhou for investigation. As a result, only two restaurants clearly marked the price and did not force consumption.

In fact, as early as 2116, the Guangdong Consumer Council issued relevant provisions on the behavior of local restaurants charging compulsory tea fees without drinking tea, and pointed out that tea fees are disguised consumption and belong to the overlord clause.

according to the relevant provisions of China's price law, when providing products or services, merchants should clearly mark the price, protect consumers' right to know and fair choice, and must not set invisible consumption items, let alone buy or sell them by force.

however, the reality is that many consumers didn't know about this consumption item when they were having tea and eating, and they didn't find out that they had been charged for the tea table according to their heads until they settled the bill, and some even counted the cost of napkins that were not clearly marked beforehand and fulfilled their obligation of informing.

should I pay for the tea table? In fact, it is not illegal for merchants to collect tea fees. What is illegal is that they have not fulfilled their obligation to inform in advance, depriving consumers of the right to know and the right to choose fairly. To understand the question of tea fees in a popular sentence is: Belong to? Overlord clause? .

if the merchant informs the consumer of the pricing of the tea place fee in advance, and asks for the opinions of the consumer, the consumer can choose whether to drink or not. If not, the tea place fee cannot be charged. Of course, if the price of tea places is obviously too high, it may also violate the price law.
