Infringement of consumers' right of independent choice and fair trade is an act of forcing consumers to accept their prescribed prices, which is illegal. According to the minimum consumption amount stipulated by the restaurant, customers must pay at least the minimum amount stipulated by the operator in this place, whether they want to spend or spend the least. This is actually an act that harms the legitimate rights and interests of consumers.

1. Article 9 of China's Consumer Protection Law stipulates: "Consumers have the right to choose their own goods or services."

2. Article 4 of the Rules of Price Behavior of Catering Repair Industry stipulates: "Operators shall set prices on the basis of cost plus legal taxes and reasonable profits, which shall be consistent with quality and price, and shall not force consumers to accept the prescribed prices."

3. Article 24 of the Law on the Protection of Consumers' Rights and Interests also stipulates that business operators shall not make unfair and unreasonable provisions to consumers by means of standard contracts, notices, statements, store notices, etc. , otherwise the clause will be invalid. Therefore, operators are not allowed to ask consumers to pay the minimum consumption according to their own regulations.
