Toraga ЖК: The service fee has been removed, but people did not feel any relief
According to the speaker, the cost of services in cafes, restaurants, taxis, and hairdressers has significantly increased, sometimes exceeding prices in international centers. "Although the service charge was canceled, establishments simply included it in the price of dishes. As a result, they did not incur losses, and people continue to pay the same amount, if not more. Therefore, before implementing such measures, it is necessary to thoroughly analyze the situation," emphasized Nurlanbek Turgunbek uulu.
He also added that the government is not doing enough work in this direction and suggested inviting members of the Cabinet to a plenary session to discuss these issues.
