Can I get a refund for morning tea?

I've never seen a refund for tea. I've already paid for the tea.

Drinking morning tea is a catering culture. The family, old or young, or about three or five friends, make a pot of tea in the restaurant, order some delicious refreshments, and talk about family and business for most of the day.

Some traditional teahouses and Cantonese morning tea shops have specially equipped tea sets for tea drinkers. For example, each dining table is equipped with a kettle, a tea tray, a tea leak and a teacup. In Guangdong, people have some habits of drinking tea. For example, if there is no water in the teapot, customers only need to open the lid of the teapot and a waiter will come to refill the water. Over time, Cantonese-style morning tea shops have also formed the practice of collecting tea fees by default.

The cost of tea places is not limited to morning tea shops. Nowadays, many restaurants specializing in other regional cuisines, including Xibei Youmian Village, Shandong fellow villagers and Nanjing big-name stalls, have also begun to be "widely accepted". "I came to eat northwest food, not to drink morning tea, but I charged 30 yuan for a table for six people." A consumer told him that it made him feel worthless.

Customers have been sitting in the morning tea shop all morning, and the restaurant really needs to provide tea continuously. A few dollars of tea table fee can also be regarded as a subsidy for the cost. The person in charge of a Cantonese-style tea restaurant in Baiyun District, Guangzhou, said that part of the cost of running a morning tea shop is in tea supply, tea set cleaning, heating energy consumption and tea set cost.

However, some young people feel that there is "strong buying and selling" in charging tea fees across the board, and even regard "tea fees" as "tableware fees". "It is clearly a Hunan restaurant, or it is the default to charge each customer for tea, and no special tea is provided."
