Recently an n integrity【爱英语 爱生活 爱上英语翻译学习网(enfanyi.com)分享时尚英语资讯】 restaurant has become a hot topic which arouses a controversial debate. A man run a restaurant without any waiter and people who have dinner here can pay the bill as they want to, if the customer think this meal worth 50 Yuan, then he can put 50 Yuan in the box. However, as the owner keep losing money over 4 months, people begin to think this is the customer’s integrity issue, while I can’t agree with it.
最近有家诚信餐馆成了热点,还引发了不小的争议。有个人开了一家没有服务员的餐馆,在那里用餐的人可以随意付钱,如果客人认为这顿饭值50块,那么他就在箱子里付50块。然而,鉴于老板四个月连续亏损,有人认为这是客人诚信问题所致,但我不同意这个观点。
In the first place, the restaurant didn’t name the price to each dish, which means the owner let the customer evaluate the meal by themselves. That’s make sense that people pay the money for the meal is always lower than the owner’s expectation. Let along the one who don’t pay the bill, as everyone have different values, and most people have no idea about the cost of the dish, it is understandable that customer pay less money than the cost.
第一,这家餐馆没有给每道菜标价,这意味着店家让客人自己估价。那么客人付的钱低于店家的期望就讲得通了。不说那些吃饭不给钱的人,每个人的价值观都不同,很多人也没有每道菜的成本价是多少的观念,客人付的钱低于成本价是可以理解的。
In the second place, the restaurant has on waiter at all which makes the cost lower than a regular restaurant. The customer have to help themselves to have rice and meals, also they need to wash the dish. It makes reasonable that customer pay less money than the owner expected.
第二,这家餐馆没有服务员,那么它的成本也会比常规餐馆低。客人得自己装饭装菜吃,他们还得自己洗碗。那么客人付钱低于店家期望是有理由的了。
To sum up, this is may not be the problem of integrity, but the way of running a restaurant. I believe most people had paid their bills, but they just pay it lower than the cost.
总而言之,这或许不是诚信问题,而是经营餐馆的方式问题。我相信很多人都付了餐费的,只是餐费低于成本而已。
