There must be zero tolerance for "ghost scale" chaos

13:30, May 20, 2024     Source: China Economic Network    

   News background:

Recently, a netizen reported that when buying fish at a farmer's market in Jiangning District, Nanjing City, Jiangsu Province, a merchant was "short of weight". The netizen found the merchant to argue, and the merchant admitted that the scale was "nine liang scale". When netizens reported to the market with businesses to protect their rights, the mobile phone that recorded the video was robbed and dropped by the management personnel of the market side. On May 19, the joint investigation team of Jiangning District issued a report that it had filed an investigation on the sponsors and merchants of the farmers' markets involved, and the market side had dismissed the merchants involved.

   If "ghost scale" is not removed, how can we deal fairly

In recent days, "ghost scales" frequently appear in the farmers' market. In the front, there was Lianyungang Seafood Market weighing 630 grams on 500 grams, and in the rear, there was Nanjing Fish Shop short of weight. The "ghost" of the "ghost scale" lies in the "inconsistency between appearance and appearance". Such scales have many mechanisms, and the weight on the scale is seriously inconsistent with the actual weight. Some can be determined by the merchant at will, and the password can be set to switch to the normal mode with one key to escape inspection. In the face of the "ghost scale", where businesses are the masters, the market has lost the basic integrity and fairness of transactions, and consumers can only be passively "slaughtered". detailed

As a concern for people's livelihood, the food basket should not be sloppy. However, there are always some unscrupulous people who are dishonest. They rely on black tricks such as water injection and "ghost scales" to do bad business and make money. Even if they make money in a short time, they will eventually be hit by themselves. The quick response of functional departments to the event is commendable, and netizens expect not only a "fast" word, but also a "heavy" word. detailed

   Eliminating "ghost scale" can't be deleted

"Ghost balance", which undermines the fairness of transactions, obviously violates the integrity of consumers. Consumers find that they are short of weight and demand reasonable and legal rights protection. Recording and monitoring with mobile phones is more freedom of rights. However, what is more "ghostly" is that when consumers seek the help of market management to safeguard their rights, they are not fair and just, but their mobile phones are robbed of evidence and driven away. Such an open cover up, obstruction of social supervision, and letting consumers eat "dumb" practices not only failed to resolve disputes, but to a greater extent, "discredited" the market. detailed

The market staff responsible for management, instead of debunking the "ghost balance" trick, turned the "gun" and "shot" at the informant, which could not but cause concern and doubt: whether there is a benefit transfer between the two and form a deformed community of interests? Another possibility that informants are required to delete videos is that they are worried about the public opinion caused by this event, which will bring adverse effects to the market. When encountering a problem, it is not to solve the problem, but to hope to delete it. It is futile, but also reveals that there is a problem in management thinking, which is more worrying. detailed

  People's hearts are like scales, fair and comfortable

In the Internet era, the negative behavior of a few people can easily make a city "suffer". More importantly, it depends on whether the regions involved can come up with sincerity and specific solutions to solve the problems after they occur. In fact, the fact that Zibo severely punished the lack of weight, which caused the whole people to "rush into Zibo", and Harbin properly handled the "ticket refund" event, which ushered in a "hot out of the circle", has constantly confirmed the truth that "people's hearts are like scales, justice and freedom", as long as properly handled, it can also turn crisis into opportunity. detailed

A good market environment requires strict compliance with the rules and regulations, which not only requires merchants to be honest and self-conscious, but also requires managers to abide by laws and regulations, be fair and just. Relevant functional departments should also supervise first, instead of always waiting for passive handling after exposure, they should increase supervision and inspection efforts, investigate the market where "ghost scales" frequently appear, further open complaint reporting channels, speed up the handling efficiency of problem clues, and timely give consumers an account. detailed

   V perspective:

@Irrelevant: The shopkeeper investigated should "refund one and compensate three" for the customers who have consumed before.

@AJCLUB: It's time to clean up! Is it not good to do business honestly?

@Hua Shaoqian: support strict investigation and provide consumers with a good market environment.

@Liangyu XL: Once you are punished to bankruptcy, you will be honest.

@Fufufuhuh: Let's expose bad businesses together.

   Editor's Note:

"Ghost scales" are not rare in farmers' markets. What is scary is that some bad traders in the markets play "ghost scales" without restriction. Fairness and integrity are the cornerstone of a good market order. "Ghost Scale" seems to be a small matter, but it really infringes the right of fair trade of consumers, destroys the market order, and affects the image of the city. We must maintain zero tolerance and crack down hard on the "ghost balance" chaos and the interest disputes behind it. At the same time, we must actively promote the standardized and institutionalized management of the farmers' market to promote fairness in an open way and exchange transparency for public praise, so that the fireworks here can truly become a beautiful urban landscape.
