Every year during the peak tourist season, things like four dishes costing nearly a thousand yuan will happen. The ultimate reason why tourists encounter this kind of thing is that the management is not strict enough and the punishment is not strong enough. Although it happens every time It is said that these unscrupulous merchants will be severely punished, but tourists are still being ripped off repeatedly. Only if management and supervision are truly in place, as long as there is evidence of cheating, the business qualification will be revoked. Only heavy fines can prevent this situation from happening!

It is normal to spend more money when traveling. It is estimated that many people will have this idea. Many businesses have seized on this mentality of tourists and resorted to fraud, passing off inferior goods, and raising prices. When encountering this kind of Situation: As a tourist, you must pick up your mobile phone to protect your legitimate rights and interests. You don’t have to waste money when traveling!

1. Ordered 4 dishes and spent nearly a thousand yuan in one ***

Tourist Xiaolong and his two companions are freshly graduated college students and took advantage of the last holiday to come out When I was traveling, I ate at a seafood restaurant in Beihai, Guangxi that caught and sold its own seafood. At that time, several people saw that the prices of all the dishes were clearly marked, so they ordered a few local specialty seafood, and ordered 4 dishes in one go. , boiled shrimps, steamed sand worms with vermicelli, spicy fried snails, and spicy seared scallops. The clerk weighed the seafood they picked in front of them, but when Xiaolong and the others asked how much it was, the clerk replied that they would know after the checkout. Unexpectedly, when the checkout came These dishes cost 974 yuan. Xiaolong and the others had to pay the bill because they were not familiar with the place. Moreover, the boss asked them to sign the bill. When Xiaolong returned to the hotel, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became because of the way the clerk acted during the weighing. It was so fast that none of them had time to see clearly how much it weighed. Spending nearly 1,000 yuan on this meal was indeed a bit too much, so I called 12315 to complain.

The restaurant owner’s attitude towards Xiaolong’s questioning was also very tough. He believed that there was no such thing as ripping off customers. His dishes were clearly priced and weighed in front of the customers. Xiaolong and the others also They all signed and confirmed. The reason why Xiaolong and the others think it is expensive is because the sandworms and snails ordered by Xiaolong are relatively expensive seafood, and their prices are not expensive, even if they buy frozen sandworms and oil snails online. It costs 7 or 80 yuan per pound. The restaurant has to add some losses and other expenses to buy it for 130 yuan, which is not very high. If the restaurant owner thinks that Xiaolong said that they are ripping off customers, then just report it. They are not ripping off customers! They clearly marked the price!

2. Were Xiaolong and the others slaughtered?

After market research, the wholesale price of live sandworms and oil snails is about 60 yuan per catty. The restaurant sold it to Xiaolong and the others for 138 yuan per catty. Since restaurants also have to make some profits, this The price is not too expensive, but looking at Xiaolong's bill, they found that the white gold clams cost 6.3 kilograms and the boiled shrimp cost 9.8 kilograms. This weight is not consistent with the portions Xiaolong and the others ate. Maybe this is the trick, but because of the food They have all finished eating, so the investigation may be a bit difficult. After all, the weighing and checkout have the signatures and approvals of Xiaolong and others. The remaining issues will be left to the Municipal Supervision Bureau to continue the investigation and evidence collection. In the local Dianping.com, netizens have different opinions on this store. Some people say that this store does rip off customers, but others say that the price of seafood is based on the market and is different in each season. In addition, Xiaolong’s order The sand worms and oil snails themselves are relatively expensive, and they signed for them themselves, so this doesn’t count as being ripped off. The Municipal Supervision Bureau is still investigating. We still have to wait and see. We hope that the Municipal Supervision Bureau will give everyone a fair conclusion.

3. Repeated offending behavior

Let’s not talk about the price of the sand worms and oil snails that Xiaolong and the others eat. Even the quantity of boiled shrimps and white gold clams is a bit too large. Three big boys can't eat so much, right? Many people feel the same way about tourists being ripped off. I think the most fundamental reason is that the punishment is not strong enough. Since many people have reacted, the relevant departments should investigate clearly and not let it go unchecked. As tourists, we should also resolutely deal with it. Firmly report merchants who engage in customer rip-off behavior. You can’t have the mentality of just coming to this place once and not coming next time, just to accept being ripped off. You must use consumer associations, public security agencies, media and other methods to report, protect your own rights and interests, and let this kind of rip off customers go away. Behavior loses room for survival.
