Restaurant charges air purifying fee
Are you willing to pay for better air quality in public places? A customer in Zhangjiagang, East China's Jiangsu province complained to the local pricing authority about a restaurant charging an air purifying fee without prior notice, Xinhua reported on Sunday.
According to the pricing authority's investigation, the restaurant charges every customer one yuan ($0.16) in air purifying fees to make up for the cost of purchasing and running air purifiers, as they aim to provide a better dining environment amid the worsening air quality in Zhangjiagang city.
The incident triggered a debate online. Many netizens support the idea of paying such a fee only if they are informed of it before dining, while others argue it is the duty of restaurant to offer a good environment.
