Do you think that when you buy seafood, the weight of the rubber band is also counted in it, which is too cost-effective? This happened to a woman in Xuzhou, Jiangsu Province. She bought 4 pike crabs in a seafood shop, spent 289 yuan, and when she went home, she found that the rubber band was 059 kilograms, accounting for a quarter of the entire weight, equivalent to 76 yuan. She felt cheated, so she posted a ** complaint on the Internet.
This ** has attracted the attention and discussion of many netizens. Some netizens said that this is a routine of seafood restaurants, and it is useless to ask for net weight, because the rubber band is tied to prevent the crab from struggling, and it is not considered the outer packaging. Some netizens said that this is the rights and interests of consumers, and they should complain to the market supervision department and ask the seafood restaurant to refund the overcharged money. Some netizens said that this is a common sense, when buying seafood, you must first ask the clerk to remove the rubber band, and then weigh it, so as to ensure fairness.
So, what does the market regulation department think about this? The reporter contacted the Xuzhou Municipal Market Supervision Bureau, and a staff member told the reporter that seafood products should be weighed net weight, which is a regulation. He said that if a seafood restaurant uses items such as rubber bands** crabs, they should be removed before weighing, or deducted after weighing, and they cannot be included in the weight of the goods. If consumers find this situation, they can report it to the local market supervision department, and they will investigate and deal with it in a timely manner.
The reporter also learned that the lady had negotiated a settlement with the seafood restaurant, and the seafood restaurant said it was willing to return the overcharged money and apologize. The owner of the seafood restaurant said that they will pay attention to this problem in the future and will not let consumers be dissatisfied again.
This incident reminds us that when buying seafood, we should pay more attention to it and don't let the rubber bands take advantage. At the same time, we must also learn to protect our own rights and interests, and when we encounter problems, we must report them to the relevant departments in a timely manner, so that market supervision is more standardized and consumers are more assured.
