Hu Lin knew perfectly well that as long as she worked hard and diligently, the boss would not treat anyone unfairly.
So, when someone asks me a question, I hold my head high and answer with great confidence.
Others who had been there chimed in, "Yes, I've been there, it really is like that."
"As long as you don't waste food, you can eat as much as you want, but you'll be fined if you don't finish it."
This rule was added by Song Lili later, because some people think, "What can you do if I waste it?"
Therefore, Song Lili directly stipulated that anyone who wastes money will be fined, based on the amount of waste.
At first, some people didn't believe it, thinking it was just talk. How could a shop like this possibly offend its customers if it wanted to stay open?
But what was the final result? Song Lili was indeed fined, and it was the most severe deterrent ever.
Because the people eating hot pot this time were a group of young people, they might not believe it, or they might be thinking, "I'm just wasting money, so you can really fine me if you want."
So they wasted a lot, eating almost a third of it and wasting two-thirds.
The store employees couldn't stand it anymore, but they couldn't do anything to the customers. They were anxious and angry.
In the end, Qiao Lin couldn't stand it anymore, so she went directly to the school to find Song Lili and told her what had happened.
Song Lili made a quick decision and immediately followed Qiao Lin back to the store, where she blocked the group of people who were about to leave.
"Our store has a rule that food cannot be wasted. If food is wasted, a fine will be imposed based on the amount wasted."
Song Lili stood in front of those people and said in a calm voice.
"A fine? On what grounds? I came here to eat, I paid to come, and you're going to fine me?"
"Do you know that I'm a guest? I'm just wasting my time, so what can you do about it?" one of the thuggish-looking men said.
"In that case, let's call the police." Song Lili wasn't angry about these words; she simply instructed the shop assistant.
The shop assistant immediately obeyed and went to call the police.
Many of the store's employees admire Song Lili, so they listen to everything she says.
The troublemakers, upon hearing that the police were going to be called, felt somewhat guilty and wanted to back down, but they also felt they would lose face.
So, forcing himself to stay calm, he glared fiercely at Song Lili and said, "Call the police? Fine, let the police see what kind of heartless merchant you are."
"A dishonest business? Let the other customers tell me, am I a dishonest business? Let them tell me."
"Just the few of you?" Song Lili pointed at them with her finger. "One, two, three, four, the four of you, you spent two yuan, and you managed to buy so much food?"
"Even if you go to the market to buy unprocessed ingredients, I don't think you can necessarily buy everything, right? After all, you eat a lot of meat."
Nowadays, people eat meat first and eat very few vegetables.
These people wasted a lot of meat, which is why the staff felt bad about it.
"If this is considered a dishonest business, then find a non-dishonest business in the capital and come out here."
"If you can find it, I'll apologize to you immediately, I won't take a penny today, and I'll even compensate you. What are you doing?"
Song Lili spoke these words calmly and clearly, making sure everyone could hear them.
Those who had their own judgment couldn't help but nod in agreement with her words.
Song Lili was confident that these people simply couldn't be found in the capital, because they had wasted too much time and effort.
That's why she dared to say that.
Other customers chimed in, "Yeah, this shop is already considered a really good one, okay?"
"Putting everything else aside, just the fact that you can eat meat as much as you want is something you won't find anywhere else in the capital, let alone anything else."
"Exactly! How can these young people be so inconsiderate? The shop owner is being kind, why don't you appreciate it?"
"Look at all that wasted meat and vegetables, don't you feel bad? Doesn't your conscience bother you?"
Life is not so affluent now, and many people are frugal and can't stand waste.
Therefore, these individuals have almost touched everyone's sore spot without realizing it.
"What's it to you? Shut up, or I'll kill you!" The man who spoke first roared at everyone with a fierce look on his face.
Song Lili first bowed to the people who spoke up for her, saying, "Thank you all for speaking up for me. I'm very sorry that this happened today and disturbed everyone. Today, I'll give everyone a 20% discount."
Song Lili did this to appease some customers who were upset.
Then, looking at the young people, he said, "Since you're so capable, then we'll wait for the police."
"If they come, I hope you'll still be this capable," Song Lili said, and then fell silent.
You can't reason with someone like that.
People like that need to be dealt with forcefully, but she's not suitable, so we'll hand her over to the police.
However, those people didn't have that kind of courage.
The previous catastrophe had just passed, and the shadows still lingered in their hearts. Upon hearing about these people, they immediately became timid.
So, all he could do was yell at Song Lili, "You just wait!" and then he turned to leave.
"Stop them," Song Lili told the store's employees. Many people immediately rushed to the door and blocked the way.
"If you want to leave, you have to pay the fine first, otherwise just wait for the police to come." Then, Song Lili said slowly.
"You dare..." The young men were frightened and stared at Song Lili.
Song Lili gave a cold laugh, "Then you wait and see." It's just a matter of whether she has the guts.
There really weren't any of those people.
One of the men grabbed the fierce-looking man's clothes and said, "Just give it to him, or the police will be here soon, and I don't want to go in."
Whether you can get out after you go in is really unknown.
"Here you go." The man himself was also uneasy. In the end, the group of people reached into their pockets, scraped together enough money, and gave it to Song Lili.
Song Lili smiled again and said, "Welcome! Hope you can come again next time."
This incident served as a warning to others, so many people now know that Chenhui Hot Pot Restaurant does not allow food waste; wasting food will result in a fine.
This story spread like wildfire, from one person to ten, from ten to a hundred, and the circumstances were exaggerated to the point of being almost mythical.
However, the consequence of this was that no one dared to waste money like that in the store anymore.
If there's little waste, the store will turn a blind eye and won't cause any trouble.
However, having made such a strong first impression, people were hesitant to try it again. As a result, those who came only took as much food as they could eat.
Song Lili was also happy to see this, since wasting food is a shameful act and should not be encouraged.
Now, Hu Lin has brought up this rule immediately, so that everyone knows that this is the store's rule.
