I just read online that a woman that owns a store in Australia is charging people for coming in and looking around the store. Here is the link. http://www.ksla.com/story/21819425/store-charges-5-for-just-looking She charges $5 dollars to come in and look. Saying people are coming in looking and getting information from her then leaving to buy the stuff online for cheaper. Wow.

Hi there Outcast! That's not right. However, it's her store. If I were a potential customer, I will definitely be turned off and will choose not to go inside her store at all. There's probably other stores in the area and it will be her loss.

I think like others said, she will surely lose business doing this. All business owners know there is a chance that people will get things online instead of in their store. That doesn't mean they should charge people for coming into their business! That is insane...

I think, even though what the customers do are unethical, but she just can't do this, she's as unethical as them. She would actually lose customers with this, I guess.
