Especially those drinks and snacks sold in hot pot are very expensive.
There are "ice cream assassins" on the Internet, and there is a wave of "beverage assassins" in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, which is magnificent and arouses heated discussion among consumers.
In recent days, Ms. He, who lives in Ningbo, met a "beverage assassin" while dining in a hot pot restaurant with her friends. The waiter of the hot pot restaurant gave three people to Ms. He and her party. When recommending drinks, they didn't tell the price of the drinks and sent three bottles of two products. At checkout, three bottles of drinks were collected 177 yuan.
Ms. He feels very strange. She was surprised when she saw the charge receipt. She found that the total consumption cost quoted by the waiter had exceeded 1800 yuan, far higher than her expectation. She was very surprised to find that mineral water costs 49 yuan/bottle, sparkling water costs 79 yuan/bottle, and the price of three bottles of water is 1.77 yuan.
When they first entered the store and sat down, when the waiter recommended water to them, the price was not stated. Ms. He thinks that hot pot restaurants provide water for free in order to attract customers. Who knows that this ordinary bottled mineral water and bubble water actually sold for a sky-high price.
Therefore, Ms. He felt cheated by the hot pot restaurant. Because there is no clear price tag, she complained to the Consumer Protection Committee of Haishu District, Ningbo. Regarding the protection of consumers' rights and interests, investigation and evidence collection show that hot pot restaurants do not clearly price drinking water.
Relying on the Law on the Protection of Consumers' Personal Rights and Interests, all foods and drinks in hot pot restaurants must be clearly marked to consumers for their choice. The hot pot restaurant does have drinking water that is not clearly priced to consumers. Disappearing will appear in different regions, different people and different forms. I hope that consumers will always be vigilant and let these "assassins" have nowhere to go and nowhere to survive.
