During the epidemic in Shanghai supermarket, a Chinese cabbage sold for 80 yuan was fined 50 thousand yuan. In Changning, Shanghai, a man came to a department store to buy it. When he went to the vegetable area, he found that celery actually costs 78 yuan/kg and cabbage 32 yuan/kg, which translates to about 43.6 yuan for a handful of celery and 77.9 yuan for a cabbage. This price makes people who come to purchase discouraged. The man thinks that the price of this vegetable is a bit outrageous. It was not that expensive when I bought it before. So the man photographed the price of vegetables and put it on the Internet. As a result, netizens vomited, "Isn't this robbing money?" "This salary can't even afford cabbage."

After seeing the price of vegetables sent by men, the local State Administration for Market Regulation immediately launched an investigation into the department store. After investigation, the supermarket not only maliciously raised the price of vegetables, but also colluded with suppliers to pass ordinary vegetables off as high-end organic vegetables and then sell them at high prices. Not only that, the supermarket also promoted eight products being sold, and the so-called "original price" marked on the spot was fictitious.

Netizen: Good punishment! Xiao Bian believes that the epidemic situation in Shanghai has started to rebound, and the number of confirmed cases and asymptomatic infected people has increased, so the epidemic control has become more and more strict. This also means that the control of material supply is also strengthening and the circulation is slowing down. At this point, some merchants began to move their minds. I can only say that the behavior of these businesses is shameless. They are not only shameless, but also illegal.

At present, the price of vegetables still follows the market pricing. In other words, the price of vegetables is determined according to the purchase price and transportation of vegetables. However, it is worth noting that this price is not fixed at will, and it should also be in line with the actual situation. Malicious bid-up of vegetable prices is an unfair business practice. In addition, the supermarket colluded with suppliers, pretending ordinary vegetables to be high-end organic vegetables, and selling them at high prices to deceive consumers, which is a consumer fraud.

Some people may think that vegetables belong to food and should be compensated 10 times according to the provisions of the Food Safety Law. Actually, it is not. In order to get 10 times compensation, certain conditions must be met. For example: selling expired food, three no food (no manufacturer, no warranty, no production date), smuggled imported food, etc. In this incident, the supermarket only sold ordinary vegetables as high-end organic vegetables at high prices. There was no problem with the quality of ordinary vegetables and they were edible. Therefore, 10 times compensation cannot be applied here.

In the end, this supermarket was severely punished by State Administration for Market Regulation, with a fine of 500,000 yuan. At the same time, this move is also an example. We hope that businesses will still be based on honesty, and if they lose honesty, business will definitely be impossible. At the same time, we should remind merchants that consumers' awareness of rights protection will become stronger and stronger.
