On March 10, according to netizens, in the SIX SHARP Whisky & Creative Molecule Cocktail Bar in Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, the mirror in the bathroom is a double-sided mirror, and the private room behind the mirror can see the person looking in the mirror.
The whistleblower said that he went to have a drink with his sisters, and when he left, he thought that the mirror in the toilet was very good-looking, so he wanted to say that he took a photo, and after taking a few photos, a little sister came to us and said, "Do you know that there is a VIP room behind the mirror?" You can see it in the back! ”。
Some customers said that they went to the bar with their friends, and did not find this problem when using the mirror in the bathroom, the mirror was in the location of the washstand, and they did not know much; when they went to play, they did not know that there was a private room, nor did they use the VIP private room.
On March 12, Xiaoxiang Morning News reporter contacted the bar staff and learned that the bar only has a VIP box, which can accommodate about 10 people, with a low consumption of 3,000 yuan from Monday to Thursday and a low consumption of 5,000 yuan on weekends. Customers, both men and women, can book a box to enter the venue, and there is indeed a glass in the box, which is double-sided. The mirror faces the place where hands are washed, where people can be seen washing their hands.
He further explained that the double-sided mirror was set up to increase the spatial transparency of the box and to see the landscape outside. The shop is a place for pure drinking, and there is no other messy service. There are more customers who come to punch the clock, boys and girls.
The location of the bar is Guangzhou Tiande Square, and the staff of the mall said that there are no complaints about the bar at present, and no one has reported this problem, but the staff will patrol the various stores in the mall every day.
As of press time, the store is open as usual.
Denying the existence of a double-sided mirror is disrespectful to women
As soon as the breaking news post was issued, it caused a lot of attention, and some netizens said that they were taken into the VIP box. "The boys deliberately knocked on the glass to scare the girls who were looking in the mirror, and I never went again." She also called on girls who are going to punch in the clock to take pictures next to pay attention to this mirror. For a time, public opinion focused on the aspects of "equality between men and women" and "respect for women".
The person in charge of the bar told reporters that this shop is a quiet bar and a clean bar, and the overall atmosphere is not noisy. The customers who come in the hall and consume in the private room are men and women, they respect each guest, and the problem does not have to rise to the aspects of "equality between men and women" and "women's rights". The mirror is facing the public area, and the people in the box are not all men, "If it is the little sister who comes to have a party, then what they see is that the boys wash their hands and scratch their hair here after going to the toilet. ”
In response to online posts that "only bar owners and shareholders can bring people into the box, all boys are looking at the little sister behind the mirror". He responded that both men and women, as long as the customer reaches a low level, can book a box, and there are also girls and sisters partying, birthday parties in the box to play. The mirror is facing the washstand outside the bathroom, not the women's toilet!
"I hope that everyone will not define this matter too extremely, but look at this matter more rationally and objectively, and also welcome consumers to visit the site to see if this mirror can directly see the women's bathroom."
Bad reviews are revoked after the platform verifies the reason
After the fermentation of the matter, there are many opinions, and netizens believe that it is necessary for businesses to rectify. The person in charge said that the bar is legal and compliant, and there are cameras. At present, there is no plan to rectify in the store, and the double-sided mirror is not illegal and does not infringe on people's privacy.
Public reviews show that questions and doubts about the double-sided mirror in the bar are missing, and some people suspect that the store has conducted a control review on the social platform. He explained that in the public review app, the merchant can not eliminate the comment.
"We did contact the people in the dianping side, and it was through their verification that we eliminated these bad reviews." It has been determined that there is a phenomenon of malicious bad reviews, and the specific reasons are also under investigation. ”
The merchant believes that the installation of the double-sided mirror does not infringe on privacy
Xiaoxiang Morning News reporter noticed that a bar practitioner spoke up, saying that some of his peers he knew expressed amusement and understanding about this matter, but in fact, he also wanted to know whether this matter was illegal. Many practitioners and operators say it's legal, it's unbelievable.
For its legality, the person in charge of the bar in Guangzhou responded, saying that the double-sided mirror must be legal, otherwise it would not be produced. And the mirror in the box can be turned off or turned on, and you can close it if you don't want to use it.
Moreover, he believes that setting up double-sided mirrors in the store is also no problem and not illegal. Their motivation for installation was to install a mirror to increase the transparency of the box space and show the shark landscape.
When asked by the reporter whether the customer knew about the double-sided mirror, the person in charge of the bar said that some customers knew and some did not know, and there was indeed no logo on the mirror. "Because we're not doing this thing is not a lewd act, and we don't think about informing." Because if you say it, like a kind of obscene guidance, it is very strange.
Accordingly, Chen Shanni, a lawyer at Beijing Lunwende Law Firm, gave a professional opinion: the merchant's behavior is suspected of infringing a variety of legal interests. According to the second paragraph of Article 1032 of the Civil Code Law, the private life of the private person is considered to be peaceful and the private space, private activities and private information that do not want others to know. Double-sided glass is installed on the outside of the toilet of the bar, giving people the wrong information of a semi-enclosed environment, making people unconsciously expose their privacy, and to a certain extent, violating people's right to privacy.
Secondly, the other side of the double-sided glass is in the VIP box, and the merchant displays the privacy of others as a product display of the VIP box, which is suspected of infringing on the right to know of other consumers, and constitutes a crime in the case of serious circumstances.
