LIQUOR BOARD ACTS ON 'RIP-OFF' COMPLAINTS
*****
THE LIQUOR LICENSING BOARD IS EXTREMELY CONCERNED ABOUT THE GROWING NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS FROM TOURISTS WHO HAVE BEEN GROSSLY OVER-CHARGED BY SOME BARS IN TSIM SHA TSUI, AN URBAN COUNCIL SPOKESMAN SAID TODAY.
IT IS EQUALLY CONCERNED ABOUT THE CLAIMS MADE BY SOME VICTIMS THAT THREATS AND INTIMIDATION WERE USED AGAINST THEM WHEN THEY COMPLAINED TO THE MANAGEMENT ON RECEIVING BILLS RUNNING INTO THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS FOR ONLY A FEW DRINKS.
