On February 25, Mr. Luu Thanh Sang - Chairman of the People's Committee of Cai Khe Ward, Ninh Kieu District, Can Tho City - said that after social networks spread a clip accusing T.C karaoke bar (Le Loi Street, Cai Khe Ward) of "ripping off" customers, the ward police invited the restaurant owner to work.
Previously, social networks spread a clip recording a controversy between a group of customers and the restaurant owner about a bill to pay more than 14 million VND.
Accordingly, the bill lists 157 cans of beer worth more than 7 million VND (45,000 VND/can); 2 portions of dried squid for grilling 1.3 million VND; 4 fruits 1.6 million VND, 1 nem chua 250,000 VND; 44 towels 440,000 VND, 1 stream water 30,000 VND... The total bill is up to 14,605 million VND.
Too upset, the group of guests called the police to resolve the matter. A male customer in the clip said: "We have a small job but 14 million, I hope you will solve it quickly. The fruit has 3 plates, which is 4 plates. He asked her (the restaurant owner) to give him a refund. All dishes are expensive, everything is high".
Notably, the person who is said to be the owner of the restaurant also admitted: "I also said that the price at my house is a bit high...".
According to Mr. Sang, the incident happened in the early morning of January 22. The clip that went viral on social media has been removed by the poster. The Ward People's Committee is coordinating with the police to clarify the incident.
The incident caused a stir in public opinion and received mixed opinions. Many people expressed their frustration at the high price of T.C karaoke bar. Many people think that such prices are normal for karaoke bars, and if you play, you have to accept them.
The case is currently being investigated and clarified by the authorities.
