It is reported that tea fee is a unique catering culture in Guangdong. Many tea houses and restaurants in Guangdong have always had the tradition of charging tea fee, that is, whether they drink tea or not, everyone has to pay a certain amount of money for consumption in the store. This is called tea fee, and some shops also call it tableware fee.

In fact, Xibei Youmian Village has regional characteristics in collecting tea fees. According to the financial reporter of China Net, Xibei provides free tea in most cities except Guangzhou and Shenzhen, and there is no separate charge. Therefore, Siebel's move has also been accused of "doing as the Romans do" with the aim of generating income. In response, the above-mentioned person in charge responded that all restaurants in Shenzhen charge tea fees.

It is worth noting that this is not the first time Siebel has apologized for the price.

Two months ago, vegetable prices rose during the West Bein epidemic, which aroused public concern. At that time, Jia Ceng, the chairman of the company, said, "If the epidemic situation is not effectively controlled, the loan payment can only last for three months".

In this context, Xibei Youmian Village raised the vegetable prices in Shanghai and eight surrounding cities from February 1. After the price increase caused a heated discussion, Siebel issued an apology statement in April 1 1 and promised to adjust the price of vegetables.

When talking about how to rectify, Xibei Youmian Village said that the restaurant will be returned without barriers according to the needs of customers. "If customers don't need tea service or are not satisfied with the quality of tea, they can refund the tea fee."
