以前读书的时候，学校水果摊也经常有摊主在电子秤上做手脚、短斤少两的现象，不时有学生发抱 怨的帖子。后来我在论坛上发了个帖子，给大家说，记住自己手机的重量，然后先把手机放到秤上去称 一下。后来这个方法流行起来，水果店短斤少两的现象也几乎绝迹了。当然，最主要的原因是，学校的 水果摊是坐商，要讲究一个商誉。而且，学校后勤部门事实上具有监管权。 其实，如果严格按行为后果和处罚来计较的话，50000元的罚款已经远超出短斤少两的后果。作为 比较，闯一次红灯，罚款也才200元，而闯红灯的潜在风险远大于短斤少两。所以，这事已经与监管力 度无关了。作为一个旅游城市，三亚在这方面的处罚力度，已经很大了。再提倡大力监管，总不能每个 摊贩派个人守着，或者短斤少两就拘留、入刑吧。在这一点上，要避免重刑主义的倾向。 那么，为什么商贩铤而走险了呢？ 在我看来，原因有两个。第一，他不知道处罚如此重。处罚的意义之一就在于警示，所以当地市场 监管部门不但要处罚，而且也要和其他部门协同宣传出去，才能形成警示效果。不过，在三亚这样一个 旅游城市，这些宣传想必也很多了。所以，还有第二个原因，那就是人的理性是有限的。商贩即便知 道，但贪小便宜、弄虚作假 ...
