When we travel to a strange place, in addition to enjoying the beautiful scenery, we also hope to taste the local specialties. Only then can we truly understand the food culture of the city.
But there are always some tourist cities with sky-high prices for delicacies. For example, Xinjiang’s cut cakes are astonishingly expensive.
When it comes to how serious the sequelae of sky-high price cut cakes are, the editor can only say that although the price is clearly marked now, no one cares about it, because it is too deceiving! 1. Sky-high price cut cakes are a local specialty in Xinjiang
It is a kind of special delicacy. At first, the public’s understanding of it was relatively one-sided. They only knew that it was a pastry made from candied dried fruits. Because all the materials used were produced locally, the quality was very high.
Guaranteed.
However, at that time, the public knew little about the price of cut cakes. It was not until a sky-high price cake incident in 2012 that the price of cut cakes was placed in front of the public.
It is understood that the buyer and seller were arguing over the price of the cut cake, and the funds involved reached 160,000, which made the general public feel unbelievable.
This 160,000 yuan cut cake was not sold locally in Xinjiang, but in Hunan Province. At that time, if you wanted to buy a special snack, the price was usually more than ten yuan. Even if you wanted to buy an expensive food, it would cost
50 yuan is about the same, but I never expected that a cut cake would sell for 160,000 yuan.
This consumer was also full of curiosity about cut cakes at the time, but had never been exposed to cut cakes before, so he did not know the price of cut cakes.
But the owner of the cut cake made it clear that the cut cake was non-refundable and he could buy as many pieces as he wanted. Unexpectedly, the price of the cut cake turned out to be astonishingly high.
The buyer and seller argued over the price of the cut cakes, and the argument turned into a fight. In the end, the buyer paid the boss 152,000 yuan in compensation.
But coupled with a series of funds such as medical expenses for later treatment, the total medical expenses once soared to 200,000 yuan.
When this incident was exposed on the Internet, most netizens expressed disbelief. They originally thought that desserts like cut cakes would only cost a few tens of yuan at most, but they did not expect that they would cost tens of thousands.
.
If I travel by myself in the future, I will never dare to buy cut cakes again.
Of course, there are also some netizens who do not believe in evil. In their view, as long as they let the merchants cut the cake less, the price will not be too expensive.
However, later on, these netizens were all slapped in the face. They found that when they asked the merchant to cut less, the other party would always cut it by mistake. The piece of pastry got bigger and bigger, and the cut part had to be cut by another person.
Consumers buy it.
2. The cake-cutting that no one cares about, whether it is the expensive cake-cutting price or the merchant’s incorrect cutting operation, makes the majority of consumers feel unhappy.
As this situation intensifies, people have given the cut cake the title of wealth cake, and even exaggeratedly said: one cut will make someone bankrupt, two cuts will make Jack Ma collapse, and three cuts will not even accept Bill Gates.
Although the ridicule by netizens is meant to be a joke, it also reflects some of the current social situation. The expensive price of cake cutting is indeed beyond the reach of ordinary consumers.
At present, the general public has a respectful attitude towards cut cakes. Even if they travel to Xinjiang, they are not willing to buy cut cakes.
Seeing that the business of cut cakes is getting worse and worse, many small vendors who sell cut cakes are also very helpless. In the past, there were foreigners who bought cut cakes with the attitude of trying something new, but now the public will not try it easily.
The solution these vendors came up with is to let customers try it, free of charge, and then buy after they taste it.
Through this kind of marketing method, it can be seen that these small vendors are also very urgent, hoping to arouse everyone's desire to buy. However, the effect is not very satisfactory. The public still does not believe in cutting cakes and is afraid that they will go bankrupt because of cutting cakes.
.
Later, many merchants selling cut cakes marked the prices of cut cakes on their stores, so there was no need to hide anything and they were completely honest with consumers.
Although merchants have clearly marked prices, sales are still stagnant, which shows that it is very difficult to win over consumers.
The cut cake merchants are now very helpless, saying that business is getting harder and harder day by day, and they are ready to change their jobs. If no one is willing to sell cut cakes, then the skill of making cut cakes may be lost, which is also very regrettable.
However, this cannot be blamed on the majority of consumers. After all, consumers used to love cake-cutting, but the current situation was caused by the interference of unscrupulous merchants.
If practitioners who sell cut cakes want to regain the favor of consumers, they can try to sell online, bring goods through live broadcasts or open online stores to achieve the purpose of increasing sales, and may be able to get different products.
