Sky-high coke hotel

It's very popular to sell coke in Shanghai Hotel at a high price in 42 yuan, but it's actually a very common thing in Shanghai. Don't say that Shanghai is a big city, even ordinary hotels are more expensive than supermarkets. There is a simple reason. The hotel pays a lot in the early stage and has a lot of management expenses. Not only hotels, KTV, amusement parks and other places, the prices are higher than ordinary ones. This belongs to price discrimination and market-regulated prices, and clearly marked prices can sell high prices.

1, clearly marked price can be sold at a high price. There are many such examples in life, for example, we go climbing mountains. The mineral water at the foot of the mountain is one yuan, but it may be five yuan when you get to the mountain. Besides, everything on the mountain is much more expensive than that under the mountain. There is no doubt about this thing, because it took a lot of effort to move to the mountain. Hotels, KTV, bars and other places are the same. It is normal to pay more in the early stage and sell at a high price. However, when selling at a high price, the price must be clearly marked, otherwise the right to know will be violated. This situation is illegal, but it is normal if the price is clearly marked.

2. Market-regulated price and price discrimination. There is no problem for hotels to sell coke from 42 yuan. This commodity belongs to the market-regulated price, and how much to sell is entirely up to the merchants themselves. Even if the supermarket downstairs sells two pieces, the hotel clearly marks the price 100. It conforms to the market-adjusted price and is clearly marked, so it is legal. This is the principle of price discrimination, aiming at different consumers, to customize the price of goods. For example, a few dollars a can of beer in a supermarket may be dozens or even hundreds in a bar, which is a very normal theory. In the case of clearly marked prices, there is no illegal act.

3. What is illegal? There are many illegal acts. For example, it is unreasonable to prohibit bringing your own drinks. This is the overlord clause, which is unfair and unreasonable. If you encounter it yourself, you can request the people's court to find the overlord clause invalid. But this is the case in many places in life. Everyone goes out for fun, so they don't care about this.
