Who eat away from home are used to seeing in restaurants "warnings" or hanging menus indicating the charge, if they fail food leftovers on the plate. The practice made on the grounds that he was being encouraged conscious consumption, preventing food waste, however, runs counter to the CDC, fitting in misappropriation. Even announced clearly and visibly.
According to Article 39, paragraph 5 of the CDC, the activity is seen as "manifestly excessive advantage" to the supplier of goods and services. This is because, according to the lawyer Caroline Mendes Dias explained, "conscious consumption should be a particular awareness of the consumer, and not a form of burden, under the proposal to educate."
The indicated to do when faced with such a situation is to refuse to pay the fee, claiming the irregularity, and may ask the CDC (which should be available in all shops) to prove the error.
In the event of refusal of the withdrawal of charges, the advisable is to be made the payment, requiring the invoice as proof, so then you can open an abuse in Claim HERE, indicating the problem we had, and if, deemed necessary for a subsequent recovery of damages, the consumer can seek the guarantee of their rights before the Special Courts.
Dr. Caroline remembers emphasized that "the legislation on consumer relations is concurrent jurisdiction of states", which means that there may be regulations regarding the waste rate, differently among the states.
