The Ministry of Trade has launched an investigation into a hamburger restaurant that accepts only 10 customers a day and does not allow anyone without a prior acquaintance. The hamburger restaurant, which has come to the fore with its strange rules, recently introduced a new rule stating that "to eat an 8-layer burger, one must have previously eaten a 6-layer burger."
SELLING BURGERS FOR 1,500 LIRA AND FRIES FOR 1,000 LIRA
Moreover, according to the posts of social media users who previously visited the establishment, the pricing policy at the venue is also quite high. Consumers state that the lowest hamburger price is 1,488 TL, and a portion of fries is offered for sale at 988 TL.
"BUSINESSES CANNOT AVOID SALES ARBITRARILY"
Following these consecutive news reports, the Ministry of Trade took action regarding the hamburger restaurant. The ministry's press advisor, Bekir Kaplan, stated, "Our teams have quickly acted regarding the 'hamburger case' that has come to the public's attention; an investigation process has been initiated under the headings of avoidance of sales and unfair commercial practices in accordance with Law No. 6502. Arbitrarily avoiding sales or selecting customers by businesses is contrary to fair and equal trade order. Depending on the results of the inspection, necessary administrative processes will be carried out."
At the end of his statement, Kaplan added, "Note: Personally, I prefer Akçaabat meatballs; however, we are resolutely at the forefront of our duty to ensure that our citizens who want to eat hamburgers have access to service under equal conditions."
