Something tells me this thread has run out of useful discussion

Still hilarious though.

Not worth a new thread, but since it's fees related - but not BC fees.............

Apparently a new Russian style coffee shop in that London is open which offers [i]free coffee[/i] and [i]free wi-fi[/i], but charges 3p a minute "rent" to customers length of stay in the shop.

As an extension of that - I mused; would it work for guitar shops that suffer from show-rooming customers, [i](who trial an item in the shop but then buy for less online)[/i] to charge a fee (eg. £1 a min?) for an in-shop customer trial - refundable if it's then bought. If the item [i]isn't[/i] bought then the amount of that trial's rent is discounted from the then ex-demo guitar/bass's price? Thereby if a guitar is demoed enough someone eventually gets it for a steal.

Would you pay it - or would it put you off going into shops that did such? Would it deter the long traditional Saturday afternoon kids who widdle-widdle for hours on their dream guitar then put it back until next time?

I'd say it's absolutely worth a new thread. Great theme, and can be discussed from many angles.

Please do make that thread. (I had written an answer, but have deleted it, and will wait and see.)

But seeing as this thread has been revived anyway ...
