However, whether this process has been negotiated with the elderly and helped him solve this problem with his consent, and whether the pricing is carried out according to market standards is also a problem.
Merchants shall not require consumers to make compulsory consumption. If the merchant has obtained the consent of the old man, and the old man has accepted 1600 yuan to pay for his ear, and the merchant has indeed helped the old man solve the problem, and the charge is still within the industry standard, then there is no fraud.
But the fact is that businesses have not solved the problem of the elderly at all. He just cleaned up the dirt in his ears, and the 1600 yuan fee proposed afterwards was totally nonsense.
However, the old man himself was not very clear, so after his son learned the situation, he took the initiative to call the police and found a vendor to ask him to refund the expenses suspected of fraud. Under the coordination of the police, the vendor finally relented and was willing to return 1400 yuan.
The lessons learned tell us that we must ask the price first when we consume, or we will not know if we are slaughtered. The phenomenon of cheating customers like this emerges one after another all over the country. In addition, you must do what you can. If you really can't afford it, don't make such consumption. 1600 yuan's ear plucking does exist. If you are in a high-end ear-picking shop, the service is also in place and understandable, so you must also choose the one that suits your price.
Besides, we should pay more attention to our parents. After all, the elderly are often behind the times, so when they face some new things, we should carefully tell them to avoid risks.
