New store pisses off customers with new fee

There's a store in Australia that really hates it when its customers walk around the store without buying anything.

Redditor BarrettFox posted a pic of a sign informing shoppers of a new fee at a specialty food store in Brisbane.

It's $5 for "just looking."

The fee exists to stop people from "showrooming" — which occurs when a customer looks at items in a physical store, then makes the purchase online.

[...]

The policy is being ripped apart unanimously.

Has a costume shop.

High school kids used to come in and play dress-up and take pictures.

The latest version of the rule that I heard was that if you take pictures and don't buy anything, the charge is $5.00. And it makes sense to me.

New Congrats on Runner-Up in best category, 'Best Oz Blogs'/'12!
(IMO, natch): Words ... a category Title even more concise than say, MAN [Linux] minimalism.

Today's entry reminds me to re-read Good Omens too.. among my earliest acquaintances with Sir Terry. A multiNational Hero, we see.
(I haven't heard lately, how he's doing with the memory/brain Problem--almost as tragic for him as ... Beethoven's deafness, I wot.)

Anyway, we seem to be on the same page: the richness of English, especially adj. adv. as concise and accurate descriptors.
We either Use these fine words--like say, extirpate--when we want to indicate that, for Ex:
The best way to deal with the likes of Rush Limbaugh, is to extirpate him from that broadcast booth..
..now isn't that a Nicer way to say, ~root out and destroy--as you would any weed in your garden?

Or: they will all be replaced with buttons on a KB: Have a Nice Day, then, inevitably.. NewSpeak ..as would Be: Double-plus Ungood
So then: good Luck in the '13 Ozymandias-of-Oz Sweepstakes!

(You can tell them, at the rostrum: "Everything I know about writing derived from eyeing the errors at IWETHEY" ... and being tactful.)

New Thanks!
That was such a huge surprise last year. I've entered this year, too. Like last year, there are over 1000 entrants, so the competition is tough.

Plumbing is not coding. There is no concept of rolling back the previously saved version of the house.
