Previously, on the evening of June 30, a clip circulated on social networks recording the scene of a group of tourists buying durian from a man in front of Son Tra night market, An Hai ward.
According to the content of the clip, tourists believe that the durian fruit only weighs about 1.5 - 1.7kg, but when the seller weighed and calculated the price, it was 4kg. When the buyer requested to weigh it again and reacted about the weight, the seller had a harsh attitude, with inappropriate words.
The clip quickly attracted many comments on social networks. Many opinions expressed outrage, saying that if the tourist's reflection is correct, then the act of weighing incorrectly needs to be verified and strictly handled to protect consumer rights and maintain the image of Da Nang tourism.
