A woman inserted her body hair into a pot, later demanding triple compensation from a restaurant in eastern China.

The CCTV footage was filmed in the city of Weifang in Shandong Province on January 5.

The restaurant’s owner, Mr Jiang, revealed that the incident occurred around 8:00 pm when the woman and her companion ordered more than 300 yuan (£34) worth of dishes. Complaining of finding hair in the hot pot, she insisted on three times the compensation.

Despite noticing her suspicious behaviour, the staff, opting for a peaceful resolution, refrained from exposing her and rejected her compensation request. Astonishingly, after the act, the women continued to enjoy the hot pot.

In the early hours of January 6, Jiang posted the surveillance video online. Only upon seeing the footage did the woman apologise and request its removal. Jiang, an experienced restaurateur, chose not to escalate the matter but cautioned her against future misconduct, reserving the right to pursue legal action.

Jiang also stated that the used pot had been discarded.

1月5日，山东潍坊。一女子一家自助料理店就餐时，伸进裤子薅隐私部位体毛放锅里，并且索要3倍赔偿，这一动作被店内监控拍下。
料理店老板姜先生称，1月5日晚上8点多，涉事女子和另一名女性同伴来到店内消费，点了300多元的餐品。但后来该女子找到店内工作人员，称在火锅中发现了毛发，要求店家给出三倍赔偿。据店内工作人员称，一开始他们就察觉到该女子神态有些异样，后来调取了监控，但本着息事宁人的态度，并没有揭穿这名女子，也拒绝了女子赔偿的要求，该顾客正常买了单。姜先生说，从视频看，当时女子做这个举动时，同行女子正在上卫生间。最让他觉得不可思议的是，在做完这一举动后，她们还继续吃了一段时间的火锅。
1月6日凌晨，姜先生将相关监控视频发布在网络。女子看到他发网上的视频，才向他道歉并想让删除视频。
姜先生称，作为一个多年的餐饮从业者，这种事情在他看来见怪不怪了，店员一般也很怕顾客恶意差评。他看在对方年纪只有20来岁，也没有深究对方，并没有报警。只是告诫对方，如果下次还听到她有类似举动，将保留追究其法律责任的权利。
姜先生称，事后店里已经将女子使用过的锅扔掉了。
据了解，如果店家描述为真，该女子的行为明显属于敲诈勒索，如果金额达到构成敲诈勒索罪，如果金额达不到也违反了我国《治安管理处罚法》的相关规定。如此行为对店家带来其他损失，店家也可以主张民事赔偿。
