1. How did Li Shifu know that the cigarettes he bought were fake?
Real cigarettes and fake cigarettes are very different because of their different production costs. Generally speaking, real cigarettes are better than fake cigarettes in packaging, feel and appearance. In terms of taste, it is a world of difference. The taste of real cigarettes is relatively stable, while the taste of fake cigarettes is not only impure, but also varies greatly.
Old smokers can tell the truth at a glance, and even if they can't, they can tell it from the taste. Therefore, generally fake cigarettes can't escape the "eye-catching" of old smokers.
Second, what is Li Shifu's "special status"?
Li Shifu bought a suspicious fake cigarette the day before, but he didn't report it to his boss immediately. Instead, he bought the same cigarette the next day. After being identified as counterfeit cigarettes, Li Shifu immediately demanded compensation from his boss. The boss should have allowed Li Shifu to quit smoking and decided to compensate Li Shifu 1 000 yuan.
However, Li Shifu is somewhat dissatisfied with the compensation of 1000 yuan. Li Shifu felt that according to the provisions of the new consumer law, a refund of one loses three, and less than 500 is 500, so Li Shifu asked his boss to compensate him for 5,000 yuan.
When the boss saw that Li Shifu was not only articulate about the new consumer law, but also the lion asked for 5,000 yuan, he thought that Li Shifu's "special identity" was a professional counterfeiter, that is, those who bought fakes or futures and then demanded compensation from the store.
Li Shifu denied the boss's guess and complained to the Hangzhou Tobacco Monopoly Bureau.
Third, does the boss know that it is a fake cigarette?
As we all know, convenience stores or small supermarkets can only buy cigarettes from the local tobacco monopoly bureau, and the goods taken from other channels do not meet the requirements, so there is the possibility of counterfeit cigarettes.
As for the purchase channel of cigarettes, the boss replied that he took them from friends, so he didn't know whether they were true or false. Does the boss know that the cigarettes he sells may be fakes? According to my guess, the boss must know.
First of all, you have to have a tobacco monopoly license to sell cigarettes, but this store doesn't. According to Article 3 of the Tobacco Monopoly Law of People's Republic of China (PRC), "the state shall conduct monopoly management on the production, sale, import and export of tobacco monopoly products according to law, and implement the tobacco monopoly license system." In other words, you can't sell tobacco without a tobacco monopoly license, and the tobacco monopoly bureau can investigate and deal with shops that sell tobacco without authorization.
Secondly, the production cost of real cigarettes and fake cigarettes is very different, so the price is also very different. Even if the boss is not a smoker, as the boss who wants to open a shop, don't you know the purchase price of ordinary cigarettes? Still clearly want to sell the price of real cigarettes with fake cigarettes.
4. What should I do if I buy fake cigarettes?
Whether Li Shifu is a "professional counterfeiter" or not, it is a fact that Li Shifu bought fake cigarettes in the store. If the store does not sell fake and inferior products or expired products, it will naturally stand the test of counterfeiters.
Li Shifu took the opportunity to ask the boss for 5000 yuan compensation. Whether this behavior is selfish or not is obvious to all.
Generally speaking, selling fake cigarettes will be punished according to the sales volume. If the sales amount is less than 50 thousand yuan, the illegal income shall be confiscated by the tobacco monopoly department, and a fine of more than 20% and less than 50% of the total sales shall be imposed, and the illegally sold tobacco products shall be publicly destroyed. If the sales amount exceeds 50,000 yuan, it needs to bear criminal responsibility.
Therefore, once you buy fake cigarettes in the market, you must first keep the shopping receipt, mark the fake cigarettes and negotiate directly with the store. If negotiation fails, you can call the local tobacco monopoly bureau to report or call 123 15 to make a complaint. If it is identified as fake cigarettes, consumers can claim compensation from the store.
If you encounter a huge amount of counterfeit cigarettes, don't hesitate to call 1 10 directly. Any sale of counterfeit cigarettes is illegal. Once buying fake cigarettes, consumers should know how to use legal weapons to protect their legitimate rights and interests.
In addition, before buying cigarettes, it depends on whether the store has a tobacco monopoly license. If you don't have a license, you are more likely to buy fake cigarettes.
