Kadıköy Scandal! 45 TL Charging Fee on a 10 Thousand TL Account

Kadıköy, one of Istanbul's favorite districts, has recently been in the spotlight due to the practices of restaurant businesses. Especially the standard practices like service charge, cover charge, and spending limit have been criticized by some customers. However, a meyhane's application has gone beyond these criticisms and has even become a hot topic on social media.

A renowned meyhane located within the Kadıköy Terminal Complex has implemented an application that has attracted the attention of many people. An incident reported by Bülent Cankurt, a columnist for Sabah Günaydın, raises questions about the quality of service in restaurants. A friend's experience, amusing for some while disappointing for others: A person who received a 45 TL charge after paying a 10,000 TL bill was left astonished by this situation.

Writer Cankurt notes that this famous meyhane stands out with its food and drink standards but suddenly drew attention with the service charge application. This incident experienced by his friend appears to pave the way for similar behaviors. Guests reportedly left the venue satisfied with the ambiance and the flavors offered but became furious upon seeing the unexpected charge.

It is striking that a meyhane from Ankara has been frequently mentioned and well-received with its new branch in Istanbul. However, the adoption and normalization of such practices by property owners could undermine consumer trust. The imposition of a 45 TL charge on a 10,000 TL bill could become one of the factors affecting people's restaurant choices.

While the quality of service and presentation is generally debated in the gastronomy world, the increase in such applications may raise doubts about brand trust in the eyes of consumers. Although pricing and service style are the policies of restaurants, it should not be forgotten that customer experience must not be overlooked. Consumers must be sensitive to the amounts they pay according to the quality of service they receive, as this will ensure the long-term success of businesses.

In conclusion, alongside Istanbul's rich culinary culture, it is emphasized once again that customer satisfaction should always be a priority. If restaurants continue to overlook their service quality and customer experience, customer losses they face will be inevitable.
