飯店中的隱性消費
The South China Morning Post: the consumer watchdog has found diners are finding unreasonable hidden charges in their restaurant bills increasingly hard to swallow.
The Consumer Council recorded 423 complaints about restaurants in the first half of the year alone, a 13 per cent increase from the same period a year ago.
Practices complained about included prices being rounded up to whole numbers and charity donations being added without consent. The watchdog said most involved negligible amounts of money, reflecting "strong consumer dissatisfaction over unfair trade practices rather than personal loss".
