In famous holiday destinations, the "spending limit" that we are used to seeing has also started to appear in restaurants. While discussions about cover charges and service fees in restaurants continue to heat up, the "spending limit" in Turkey's most popular holiday regions has become a hot topic of conversation. STARTED TO BE IMPLEMENTED IN SOME RESTAURANTSAuthorities have indicated a "penalty" route for businesses that demand fees that do not exist, but this has not solved the problem. This limit application, which is generally 1500 lira, has also started to be implemented in some restaurants in Istanbul. While lawyers emphasize that the obligation to pay the requested amount even for a single tea is irregular, citizens have called it "discrimination." FILE A COMPLAINT WITH THE MINISTRY OF TRADESpeaking to a television channel about the issue, Deputy Chairman of the Consumer Confederation (TÜKONFED) Lawyer İbrahim Güllü stated, "Consumers should file a complaint with the advertising board under the Ministry of Trade to request necessary actions. At the same time, they can also file a complaint with the Turkish Human Rights and Equality Institution on the grounds that this practice is discriminatory."
