The reason why people think that the price of cut cakes is exaggerated is because the sale of cut cakes sometimes involves false inducements and forced buying and selling. According to two previously filmed unannounced media interviews, the situation is as follows: when customers ask how much a catty is, vendors will say "5 yuan", deliberately creating the illusion that the unit price is very low, but when they finally check out, they tell you that it is actually "5 yuan one or two"; Or directly tell you "5 yuan one or two", but in the process of slicing, regardless of the actual needs of customers to "cut a little less", a knife down, because of the great density, often hundreds of dollars, which obviously seriously exceeds the ordinary pricing in the minds of consumers on the street (the premise to achieve the purchase intention).
There are also two ways to buy and sell by force. The first way is to take the initiative to attack on the roadside and ask passers-by to "try" and pester them with a small piece of cut cake with walnuts. If you unfortunately eat it and show that you don't want to buy it, a group of vendors will gather around and tell you by words or physical movements that it is impossible not to buy it; Or wait for the customer to "take the bait" on the roadside, and then use the above-mentioned price fraud method to "cut it and not return it", and also use words or violent threats to force customers to buy.
If this kind of business is called a scam, then it is also a "universal scam" that is not exclusive to a certain type of people. For example, in the early years, big cities in China often peddled "necklace 5 yuan", which became "1 cm 5 yuan" when you paid for it, and was besieged after a little argument.
It reflects the darkness of today's society.
