When we entered the Chinese restaurant, we saw three tables of different sizes, with a glass cup full of tea on it. Next to each table, there was a sign of "Tea Fee 3 yuan", which reminded us of the question just raised.
We asked a waiter about the tea table fee. The waiter explained: "The tea table fee is fixed in our store, but not all restaurants charge tea table fee. The tea table fee in our store is included in the whole bill and will be recorded on the receipt together with the vegetable price." In addition, the waiter also told us that if diners consume in this restaurant but don't need tea, they can ask to cancel the tea table fee.
However, some consumers may not know that when merchants collect tea fees, if they do not provide services such as tea and tea sets, consumers have the right to refund the tea fees. If you find that you have received tea and tea sets that you can't provide, you can ask for a refund of the tea place fee.
In this case, the restaurant manager also expressed a serious attitude to us: "Our restaurant does charge for tea, but we always charge according to the tea and tea sets provided by the restaurant and will not charge at will. If there is a consumer refund, we will also properly handle it. "
After this investigation, we found that it is a legal form for the catering industry to collect tea fees, but consumers have the right to know and master the situation of tea fees, and can ask for cancellation or refund if necessary. At the same time, restaurants should also charge reasonable fees during business hours, and it is forbidden to make false reports. I hope everyone can be more rational when spending and know how to safeguard their own consumer rights.
