What happened
On April 20th, Mr. Du and a few friends had dinner in a restaurant in Laizhou, Shandong, and ordered a saltwater prawn, because there was no picture on the menu, I thought that the size of the shrimp was very large, and the name was the same as the prawn, but when I saw the dish, the shrimp was not as big as the palm of the hand, and there was no difference from ordinary shrimp, but it cost 420 yuan, a total of 15, and then calculate the price, a shrimp so big combined with 28 yuan, Mr. Du also complained, it was really a "saltwater shrimp assassin". I feel like I've been cheated.
Mr. Du, who was suspicious of the price, approached the owner of the restaurant in the hope of getting a reasonable explanation, and the manager said in a firm tone that the price was clearly marked on the menu and that there was no fraud. He said that if you have any doubts about the price, you can report it. Such a response caused Mr. Du's anger and dissatisfaction.
The AMR responded
As soon as this incident came out, the Market Supervision Bureau immediately responded: the merchant did clearly mark the price, and the party used 1380 to buy a package worth 2891 yuan, plus the wine paid a total of 1404 yuan, although the price was 28 yuan, but in the end, the group purchase price was 13.73 yuan. We will continue to follow up on the problem of the excessively high price of brine shrimp.
This matter quickly sparked heated discussions on the Internet.
Some netizens pointed out that the premise of clearly marking the price should be reasonable, not the sky-high asking price, and some people think that it is your own problem to order the food yourself and feel that it is expensive!
For the heated discussion among netizens, some people who are familiar with the seafood market gave a more professional explanation. They say the price of shrimp does vary depending on the quality and source. If it is shrimp farmed inshore, the market price is indeed not high, and if it is an authentic sea-caught prawn, the price is much higher. In this way, this plate of 420 yuan prawns does not seem to be too expensive.
The clear price is not a protective word, it can not be an excuse for the random price, and the quality and price are proportional to the real clear price!
This "saltwater shrimp assassin" incident not only reveals the problem of matching the clearly marked price with the actual price, but also reflects the importance of market integrity and consumer rights. Clearly marked prices are not only a simple price labeling behavior, but also the commitment and responsibility of merchants to everyone. Reasonable prices, clear information, and high-quality products are all three things that are really indispensable. Merchants should understand that real business success is not built on a one-time high profit, but on a long-term basis.
I hope this incident can sound the alarm for all businesses, and immediately take the May Day holiday, and I hope that the merchants will stop discrediting the place, so that everyone can eat at ease and have fun.
