Consumers can not wait more than 20 minutes to pay bills in establishments such as bars, cafes, restaurants and night clubs throughout the state of Rio. It is what determines the Law 7,238 / 16, signed by the governor Luiz Fernando Bigfoot and published in the Official Gazette Monday.
According to the deputy Luiz Martins (PDT), author of the law, the proposal defends consumers from abusive practices where the customer has to face long queues to pay the bill, which happens mostly in nightclubs and shows. "In many establishments, for economy, the owners do not put the number of boxes needed to meet the demand," he said.
The new standard does not apply to establishments that make a charge on customers' tables. In case of non-compliance, the trade will be fined - the minimum amount of R $ 600.
