In most people's shopping experience, precious metals and precious Chinese herbs are sold in grams.
Can you imagine that pastries will also be sold by the gram?
A pastry shop in Wuhan called "A Love Cake" has successfully refreshed everyone's "consumption concept" and become the target of public criticism!
A few inconspicuous pieces of snowflake crisp were sold for hundreds of yuan.
Netizens shouted:
Has the world changed, or am I too poor?
01
Let's start with a recap:
Recently, Ms. Zhai from Wuhan accompanied her relatives from other places to visit Wuhan, but an incident happened that made her ashamed and embarrassed.
The incident happened on April 7, when Ms. Zhai and her relatives were shopping on the Hanjiang Road Pedestrian Street in Wuhan.
When passing by a pastry shop called "A Love Pastry", the waiter's enthusiasm caught their eye. So, the group decided to go into the store to buy and taste.
Unexpectedly, this became a decision that they regretted a lot.
When I entered the store, one of the "snowflake cakes" displayed in the window looked pretty good. Ms. Zhai specifically asked the clerk about the price.
The clerk replied:
"5 bucks a piece. ”
The cautious Ms. Zhai confirmed to the clerk again:
"Let's buy five dollars, that's 25 dollars?"
After receiving an affirmative reply from the clerk, Ms. Zhai selected five pieces of "snowflake cake".
And then something unexpected happened,
After the clerk weighed it, he asked Ms. Zhai to pay 681.4 yuan!
The huge difference was unacceptable to Ms. Zhai, so she decisively asked for a refund. Unexpectedly, the clerk refused on the grounds that "it has been cut".
There was an argument between the two sides, and the scene was extremely chaotic for a while, and many onlookers gathered at the entrance of the store in an instant.
In order to avoid the situation from further escalating, the store had no choice but to refund the money.
Here's the problem:
What caused the price to change drastically?
It turned out that the clerk played a "word game" with Ms. Zhai
The clerk didn't say "5 yuan a piece" at all, but "5 yuan a gram".
The difference of one word, the difference is dozens of times!
Ms. Zhai, who was angry, posted her experience on the Internet, but she didn't expect that there were many tourists who were trapped.

As soon as the matter was released, it quickly rushed to the hot search. The comment area has become a gathering place for netizens who have been pitted. Everyone left messages and complained:
"I bought 2 pieces for more than 80..."
"There is no clear price, the answer to the question is vague, and I will weigh it if I cut it directly, and I want to buy and sell!"
"One tael 38, I thought one pound 38... I'm in a bad mood all night!"
I don't know if I don't see it, and I'm shocked when I see it.
It turns out that this "Letter of Love" is a veteran of playing word games.
And the tourists who are cheated often choose to "spend money to buy a lesson", after all, it is not worth it to come out to play for a few hundred yuan and affect the mood!
As the matter continued to ferment, the local market regulators quickly went to the store involved to deal with it.
Law enforcement officers found that:
The store did not have a conspicuous and clear price, and did not post the business license, food business license and health certificate of the employees.
In response to the price issue, the regulatory authorities require that the "Love Cake" must clarify the commodity price, pricing unit and pricing method.
However, this way of dealing with it is really difficult to convince the public.
The price of the product is not only clearly marked, but also the authenticity.
Dare to ask, what kind of material can make pastries sell for 256 pounds?

This "Wuhan Snow Cake" incident is very similar to cutting cakes back then.
We all know how the "cake cutting" has had a negative impact on Xinjiang.
Rely on playing word games and digging holes to pursue high profits. In the end, it will inevitably suffer its own consequences. Discredit honesty!
This incident is a wake-up call for both operators and consumers.
For business operators, doing business with integrity is an eternal truth.
For consumers, when encountering unfair events, they must dare to stand up and protect their legitimate rights and interests!
