Should I pay for tea seats in a teahouse?

In fact, the practice of charging for tea has been around for a long time, and it can be said that it is now an industry practice. And you're in these teahouses, the business is always going to help you refill your tea, from this point of view, I personally think it should be charged. Besides, a few dollars for tea is actually not expensive, after all, the business of tea it is also need to cost.

Of course, it would have been better if the cafeteria had been able to standardize its pricing. And if they can do that, and get the customers' consent first, the customers will be more willing to pay.

In Guangdong and other places, drinking morning tea is a kind of dining culture. A family of young and old, or about three or five friends, in the restaurant to make a pot of tea, order some delicious refreshments, talk about family life, talk about business, sit for most of the day. Some traditional teahouses and Cantonese morning tea stores are also specially equipped with special tea utensils for tea drinkers, for example, each table is equipped with a kettle, tea tray, tea funnel, tea cups, and so on. There are also some tea drinking etiquette in Guangdong folklore, for example, if there is no water in the teapot, customers only need to open the lid and a waiter will come to refill the water. Over time, Cantonese morning tea stores have also developed the common practice of charging a tea service fee by default. According to China's "Price Law," the relevant provisions of the business to provide products or services, should be clearly marked price, should protect the consumer's right to know and fair choice, shall not be set up invisible consumption items, and shall not be forced to buy and sell.

However, the reality is that many consumers do not know this consumer program when they eat tea, until the checkout bill only to find that they were counted by head of tea, and some also counted the cost of napkins beforehand, the same did not expressly marked price and fulfill the obligation to inform the cost of napkins.

Should we pay the tea ceremony fee? In fact, the merchants charge tea place fee is not illegal, illegal is not prior to fulfill the obligation to inform, depriving consumers of the right to know and the right to a fair choice, with a common language to understand the issue of tea place fee is: belong to the "king of the terms and conditions".

If the merchant informs the consumer of the pricing of the tea service charge in advance, and seeks the consumer's opinion, the consumer chooses to drink or not to drink, and if not to drink, then the tea service charge cannot be collected. Of course, if the pricing is obviously too high, it may also violate the price law.
