Rules help to lift residents to virtuous heights
A SUPERMARKET CHAIN in Guangzhou, South China's Guangdong province, has introduced self-payment service that allows customers to place the purchased goods on a self-help platform and pay through their smartphones. Beijing News comments:
The supermarket introduced the service about six months ago, and although more than 1.3 million payments have been made through the system, not a single customer has been caught trying to avoid payment.
Many say the success of the self-payment service reflects the high moral standards of the local residents. But the chaos that shared bicycles have created tells another story: people park them at will, some lock them with their own locks to ensure only they use them, while others carry them home. It is difficult to believe the same residents behave so differently at the self-help supermarkets.
