"Hey, have you ever heard of cheating at a gas station?" Old Zhang Tou said to Xiao Li mysteriously.
Xiao Li was refueling his car, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, "Cheating at the gas station?" How is this possible, aren't they afraid of being investigated? ”
"Hmph, some people have a black heart and dare to do anything for money." Lao Zhangtou snorted and began to tell the story, "Let's just talk about a gas station in Baotou, they are really smart but they are mistaken by smart." ”
It turned out that in order to make more money, this gas station actually started to think crookedly. They use a special software that allows them to "get their hands dirty" when it comes to refueling, so that customers fill up less than they actually show.
"This is too immoral!" Xiao Li said angrily.
"Isn't it? But don't tell me, they worked. At first, everyone didn't notice it, after all, no one would measure whether the oil was enough. So, this gas station has made a lot of money. Lao Zhangtou sighed.
However, as the saying goes, "Skynet is magnificent, negligent but not leaky". One day, someone from the Market Supervision Bureau suddenly came to this gas station to conduct an inspection. They were just routine, but they didn't expect to find a big problem.
"And guess what? They found that cheating software and device in the mezzanine of the staff lounge closet at the gas station! Lao Zhangtou said it vividly, as if he had seen it with his own eyes.
Xiao Li was dumbfounded when he heard this, "This is too cunning, isn't it?" Hiding things there! ”
"That's right! It's a pity that they still showed their feet in the end. Lao Zhangtou continued, "The people in the Market Supervision Bureau are not vegetarians, and they quickly found out the truth of the matter. This gas station cheats through software, refueling customers less and charging more. Their illegal gains were as high as more than 8.63 million yuan! ”
"Oh my God! So much money! Xiao Li exclaimed.
"Not really! But the money was all illegitimate, so they were all confiscated in the end. "Moreover, they were also fined." ”
"How much was the fine?" Xiao Li asked curiously.
"Guess what?" Lao Zhangtou sold a pass.
Xiao Li thought for a while, "Hundreds of thousands? Millions? ”
Old Zhang Tou shook his head, "Neither." They were only fined $2,000. ”
"What? Only 2000 yuan? Xiao Li couldn't believe his ears, "They made so much money, so they only fined so little?" ”
"Well, that's what the law says." Lao Zhangtou sighed, "Although they have a lot of illegal gains, according to relevant laws and regulations, the maximum fine limit is so much." So, although this gas station has been investigated, it may just be painless for them. ”
Xiao Li was speechless after hearing this, but he didn't feel good in his heart. He remembered that he had never paid attention to these details when he usually refueled, and it was really scary to think about it now. He didn't know how many such gas stations existed, and he didn't know if he had ever been deceived.
Lao Zhangtou seemed to see Xiao Li's thoughts, he patted Xiao Li's shoulder and said, "Young man, you have to keep an eye on it when you come on in the future!" While we can't stop all the deception, at least make ourselves smarter. ”
Xiao Li nodded, "Thank you, old Zhangtou." I'll remember that lesson. With that, he started the car and slowly drove away from the gas station.
This incident touched Xiao Li a lot. He began to pay attention to the various consumer traps around him and reminded those around him to be vigilant. At the same time, he also realized that the improvement of laws and the strengthening of enforcement are essential to maintaining market order and consumer rights.
Since the last time I heard Lao Zhangtou talk about cheating at that gas station, Xiao Li has paid special attention to this aspect. Not only did he have a better eye when he refueled, but he also often shared this case with his friends, reminding everyone to be careful of consumption traps.
One day, Xiao Li had dinner with his friend Xiao Wang, and they talked about it while chatting. Xiao Wang was shocked when he heard this, "Oh my God, there is still this kind of thing!" These gas stations are so lacking! ”
Xiao Li nodded, "Yes, we usually have to be more careful." However, I also found a problem. ”
"What's the problem?" Xiao Wang asked curiously.
"Even though the gas station that was investigated was fined, it may be just a drop in the bucket for them. I don't think such penalties are likely to be enough to deter other potential offenders. Xiao Li voiced his concerns.
Xiao Wang thought deeply after hearing this, "You are right. If the cost of breaking the law is too low, then these people may take the risk. I think we should call on the relevant departments to increase the punishment so that these people do not dare to commit it again! ”
So, Xiao Li and Xiao Wang began to act. Not only did they share their views and experiences on social media, but they also contacted a number of consumer rights protection organizations to jointly promote the improvement of relevant regulations and strengthen enforcement.
