In places of special need, such as tourist areas, the price of goods may be higher than the market price, which is understandable to a certain extent.
Because in special demand places, the rent and labor of the store are higher, and the price will naturally rise accordingly, but this also means that when consuming in these places, we need to be more cautious, not only about the quality of the goods themselves, but also about the transparency of the price, and the store also needs to fully respect the consumer's right to know and choose.
On April 30, a dispute over the sale of cut cakes occurred in Ordos, Inner Mongolia, where a man was asked to pay more than 10,000 yuan when buying cut cakes, which aroused the attention of netizens.
1. The man was asked to pay more than 10,000 yuan when he bought the cut cake, which caused controversy.
On April 30, a video was exposed on the Internet, in which a man was arguing with the owner of a pastry shop, the man was holding a bag of cut cakes, and the owner kept talking impatiently.
It turned out that the man had just bought the cut cake, but when the boss offered the price, the man was very dissatisfied and even had an argument with the boss, and the boss kept urging the man to leave quickly.
According to the man, the bag of cut cakes he bought cost him a total of more than 10,000 yuan, which sparked heated discussions among netizens, and in the video, the man said with emotion: "How could I ask for more than 10,000 yuan for such a bag of cut cakes, didn't I ask for two catties of cut cakes?"
And the boss replied: "Look at how many grams you bought yourself, I will weigh you how many grams, didn't you ask for 10,000 grams?"
In the video, the boss kept stopping the filmmaker from filming and demanding that the video be deleted, while the man left the store angrily with the freshly bought cut cake.
2. In similar cases, the consumer's right to return the goods should be respected and the purchase should not be forced.
After the video was exposed, netizens also discussed, and some netizens said: "This store is too tricky, generally speaking, cut cakes are sold by the catty, but his store is priced by the gram, and he doesn't inform consumers, it's just to pit people, this store is too dark." ”
But some netizens said: "In this kind of tourist area, many shops will cheat people, this man is too careless, he dares to buy such an expensive cut cake, and he is also at fault." ”
In fact, according to the price in the market, generally speaking, the cut cake is sold by the catty, and the price is not expensive, generally around 10 yuan, but in tourist areas and other special places, the price will rise a lot, but no matter where, the transparency of the price and the right to know are very important.
First of all, as a store, they need to inform consumers of the price of the goods, as well as the unit of measurement of the price, which is the basic right to know, if the consumer does not know the unit of measurement of the price, they will buy according to their own understanding, if there is a dispute, then the consumer and the store have a certain reason.
But even if the consumer feels that the price is too expensive after purchasing, the consumer's right to return the goods should be respected, and the consumer should not be forced to buy, after all, it is the consumer's freedom, and the store only needs to sell things to the consumer, and does not need to force the consumer to buy.
As a consumer, you also need to confirm the price of the goods you buy, which is the responsibility of the consumer, if you are not clear, you should ask clearly, do not let yourself fall into the pit.
3. The incident aroused the attention of netizens to discuss the price of cake cutting and the rights and interests of consumers.
After the video was exposed, netizens also discussed, and some netizens said: "This store obviously wants to trick people, why didn't he tell consumers that the cake is cut by the gram, and the price is so expensive, he is too dark." ”
Some netizens discussed the price of cake cutting: "This cake cutting shop is too dark, but why is the cake cut so expensive, is it the price of cake cutting?"
In fact, the price of cutting cakes is mainly adapted to local conditions, the price of cutting cakes in different places is different, the main raw material of cutting cakes is glutinous rice, and the price of glutinous rice is also different in different places, and the cake cutting practices in different places are not the same, so the price will also be different.
Moreover, in some special places, the price of cut cakes will also rise a lot, but even in special places, the store needs to inform consumers of the price and unit of measurement, which is the most basic right to know.
In the incident on April 30, the man also said that he had just come to Ordos and did not know that the price of cutting cake was here, so there was such a misunderstanding.
Under the attention of netizens, the store also expressed its willingness to negotiate with the man to refund part of the fee, and the man was also willing to negotiate with the store and delete the relevant video, but this incident also reminded merchants that they need to be more cautious in terms of service and price transparency to avoid consumer dissatisfaction and negative impact.
epilogue
Price transparency is very important in tourist areas and other special demand places, but when purchasing goods, consumers should also pay attention to confirm the price measurement unit to avoid disputes due to misunderstanding.
