In Germany, everything is getting more expensive: groceries, gasoline or going to restaurants… In the future, people will have to pay more when they use the toilet at service stations and service areas on most German highways.
Na lipotia mai e le ofisa o tala fou a Siamani e faapea, mai ia Novema 18, o Sanifair, o se kamupani tele a Siamani, na faamoemoe e siitia le tau o le faaaogaina e tusa ma le 400 faletaele o loo faagaoioia i luga o le auala mai le 70 euro sene i le 1 euro.
I le taimi lava e tasi, o loʻo toe faʻaleleia e le kamupani lana faʻataʻitaʻiga o le voucher, lea e lauiloa e tagata faʻatau. I le lumanaʻi, o le a maua e tagata faʻatau a Sanifair se voucher o le 1 euro pe a uma ona totogi le pili o le faletaele. E mafai lava ona fa'aaoga le voucher mo le toesega pe a fa'atau i le nofoaga o auaunaga a le auala tele. Peita'i, e na'o le tasi le voucher e mafai ona fesuia'i mea ta'itasi. I le taimi muamua, o taimi uma e te faʻaaluina ai le 70 Euro, e mafai ona e mauaina se pepa faʻatau e 50 Euro, ma faʻatagaina e faʻaaoga faʻatasi.
Na faʻamatala e le kamupani e faʻapea o le faʻaaogaina o le fale Sanifair e toetoe lava a malepe mo malo i le fale malolo. Peita’i, ona o le taugata o le tau o oloa i le nofoaga o auaunaga i luga o le alatele, e le’o fa’aaogaina uma e tagata fa’atau a le Sanifair ni pepa fa’atau.
Ua lipotia mai o le taimi muamua lea ua sii ai e le Sanifair le tau talu ona faalauiloa le voucher model i le 2011. Na faamatala e le kamupani e faapea, e ui o le tau o le faagaoioiga o le malosi, tagata faigaluega ma mea e faaaoga ua matua siitia, ae o lenei fua e mafai ona faatumauina tulaga o le mama. auaunaga ma faamafanafanaga mo se taimi umi.
O le Sanifair o se lala o le Tank&Rast Group, lea e pulea le tele o fale kesi ma vaega o auaunaga i luga o alatele Siamani.
The All German Automobile Club Association (ADAC) expressed its understanding of Sanifair’s move. “This measure is regrettable for travelers and families, but in view of the general rise in prices, it is understandable to do so,” said a spokesman for the association. Importantly, the price increase is accompanied by further improvement in toilet cleaning and sanitation in service areas. However, the Association expressed dissatisfaction that each commodity can only be exchanged for one voucher.
The German consumer organization (VZBV) and the German Automobile Club (AvD) criticized this. VZBV believes that the rise of vouchers is just a gimmick, and customers will not get actual benefits. A spokesman for AvD said that Sanifair’s parent company, Tank&Rast, was already privileged on the highway, and it was expensive to sell things at gas stations or service areas. Now the company also earns extra profits from people’s necessary needs, which will scare away and drive many people who want to use the toilet mad.
