Lakshmi With Six Toes, Temple

Consumers Stop Hotels From Fleecing

In Tamil Nadu the State Government has opened up Restaurants selling good tasty food at affordable Prices.

The low-cost canteens in Chennai, serving breakfast and lunch at rock-bottom rates, are an instant hit. And the welldressed office-going crowd does not seem to mind sharing space with the slum-dweller for that tasty rice-sambar sold at Rs.5 and curd-rice sold at Rs.3.

Other hotels charge anything between Rs 18 per plate of two Idlis and Curd Rice around Rs 20.

You do not get a Masala Dosa for anything less than Rs 70!

Why?

People think it is beneath their dignity to question this extortion.

Imagine people with a salary fo Rs 400 to 5000 per month ,are staying alone and have to take food in restaurants.

is this not fleecing?

Why consumer groups are silent on this issue?

I saw a Talk show in Vijay TV Neeya Naana where the Hoteliers met with the customers for a discussion.

And they offer you what they think you like, never an authentic Tamil Nadu Cuisine except Idli Vada Ponga and Poori (which has become South Indian now( and a few other items)

Whys no specific Tamil specialties?

I can name quite a few.

Think about it,
