Bars, restaurants and nightclubs can not charge fines for the loss of commands consumption previously delivered to the customer. This is abuse.
The person goes out to have fun in a nightclub and suddenly can not find the commands given to them at the entrance. Then realize that out, you will have to pay a high fine imposed by the establishment.
Can not. The command is for customer consumption control, not the house.
The collection of fines on the loss of command is considered an abusive practice (and therefore illegal) by the Consumer Protection Code.
Responsibility for monitoring is the property and can not be transferred to the customer.
When opening a restaurant, for example, the supplier assumes the risk of the activity and must have control of what people consume, just sell chips in the box or have an electronic system of control over sales of drinks and food within their own enclosure.
If consumers lose command, it should not be liable to pay the fine, but must act in good faith. We recommend immediately notify the head of the institution. If they try to charge you unduly, be polite but blunt and say you'll pay only what they consumed. Alerte which is the obligation of the establishment manage efficiently what was consumed.
If there is any kind of threat, coercion or the house to prevent his departure, for failure to pay the extortionate fine, consumers should immediately call the police (190), which may even arrest in flagrante responsible for illegal Constraint crime or crime Prison Private.
A more diplomatic solution is pay and require invoice that should discriminate all values (including fines). Then, report such abuse to PROCON. You may also claim in judicial return (double) the money that was improperly charged.
