A lawyer has shared through his Tiktok several account abusive practices that some restaurants apply on their receipts. Under the profile of @lawtips, followed by more than 2.5 million users, has denounced some charges that are often made in the hospitality and that, in reality, are illegal.
Accompanied by Tiktoker @Cenandoconpablo, both explain in the first place that Collecting the covered service is illegal. They say, this extra position is equivalent to billing for essential elements. “It is as if they will charge you for the cup, the chair or the table, something that makes no sense,” they point out, since they are already included in the experience offered by the establishment.
They also highlight that in many stores Menu letters do not reflect VATbreaking the legal obligation to show the final prices with all taxes included. In addition, he denounces the use of the “price according to market”, habitual in fish restaurants: “If they offer you an out of letter, they must tell you their exact price, for example, 30 euros per kilo, so you can decide if you are interested or No”.
Another point that highlights is excessive collection for water. In accordance with the regulations, Restaurants must offer tap water for free. The lawyer recalls an incident lived in Ibiza, where 10 euros, an exorbitant amount for a bottle of water, a situation that exemplifies what he considers a “barbarity” in the practice of the sector.
In addition, they warn about the obligation to have a physical letter in which prices are detailedboth food and drinks. He points out that forcing customers to consult a QR code, to the detriment of a printed menu, is inappropriate, especially if a person does not have the mobile reading function or runs out of battery.
While not all supplements applied in the hospitality are illegal, the expert clarifies that certain parameters must be respected. For example, the surcharge for terrace service is admissible if a fixed amount is established and not a percentage of the total account. In the same way, The collection by reserve is only valid when discounted from the final amount, And any extra, such as charges for adding milk to coffee or ice to drink, must be informed previously and specificly.
