On July 3, the Qin'an County Market Supervision Bureau carried out a special rectification and publicity campaign of "mobile phone weight, measurement benefiting people's livelihood" electronic pricing scale in densely populated places such as Xingguo Cultural Square. The staff explained and demonstrated the use of mobile phone weights on the spot, which attracted a large number of citizens to participate.
"Uncle, the net weight of your mobile phone is 220 grams, when shopping in the future, when you encounter a merchant using an electronic scale to weigh goods, you only need to put your mobile phone directly on the electronic scale to weigh it, to see whether the weighing result is consistent with the weight of the mobile phone label, you can know whether the merchant's scale is standard." While patiently explaining to the citizens how to use the "mobile phone weight" trick, the staff pasted the green gram weight label uniformly printed by the Qin'an County Quality and Technical Supervision and Testing Institute on the back of the citizen's mobile phone.
At the event site, the staff used the qualified electronic balance to weigh the mobile phone carried by the masses for free, and labeled the weight, and the mobile phone became a portable weight of known weight, which can be used as a reference for the weight of the transaction when consumers shop, and has become an effective way for the masses to supervise the measurement behavior. In order for the elderly to better learn how to use this method, the staff also walked into the market with a mobile phone with a weight tag to demonstrate and explain to them, and the law enforcement officers of the Market Supervision Bureau conducted random spot checks on the electronic scales used by business operators in the market.
"Today, the Market Supervision Bureau taught us the little trick of turning the weight of the mobile phone, and we are not afraid of running out of catties and missing two pounds when we come out to buy vegetables in the future. If you don't feel at ease when buying groceries, put your mobile phone on it and weigh it, so that you can know if there is a shortage of catties or two, and you don't have to worry about being deceived because of the 'ghost scale' when you buy things in the future. Citizen Wen Haizhe praised this little trick.
Since the beginning of this year, the Qin'an County Market Supervision Bureau has carried out rectification actions to solve the problems of concern to the masses and key trivial matters, taking the electronic pricing scale as the focus of rectification, and resolutely cracking down on the use of electronic scales to cheat, lack of catties and other illegal acts that damage the rights and interests of consumers, and innovatively launched the initiative of "turning mobile phones into weights". Once the masses find that there is a large error in the weight of the purchased goods, they can protect their legitimate rights and interests by refusing to purchase the goods, requiring the merchant to replace the electronic pricing scale that meets the requirements, re-weighing on the fair scale, or calling the 12315 complaint and reporting hotline.
Wang Xiaogang, director of Qin'an County Quality and Technical Supervision and Testing Institute, told reporters: "Through today's mobile phone to 'weight' activity, the general public can quickly, conveniently and accurately know whether they have encountered a shortage of cheating scales, which is conducive to improving consumers' awareness and ability to protect their rights, so that 'cheating scales' have nowhere to hide, so that consumers 'scales' are happy, and the market order is more stable and stable." ”
