Fed up with tourists who only come in to check out the scenery,the owners of Queviures Murria,a grocery store in Barcelona,Spain,have put up a sign announcing a 5 euro fee for coming in just to look.

Queviures Murria has been in business since 1898 and is one of the most eye-catching locations in all of Barcelona.The vintage (老式的) look of the store and the traditional design of the inside attract hundreds of tourists every day,but the problem is that many of them aren’t actually interested in the products sold inside—all kinds of traditional Spanish cured sausages,cold cuts,cured cheeses,oils,wines,etc.According to the store,many tourists enter the store without even saying a simple “hello”,wander around taking pictures,and then simply leave without buying anything.So it decided to charge people for “just looking” just to discourage them.

Toni Merino,one of the managers at Queviures Murria,said that the idea to charge tourists a fee for simply coming into the grocery store and looking around without buying anything started out as a joke,but as the staff and the regular customers became increasingly

inconvenienced by random tourists looking around,taking pictures,with absolutely no interest in the products on display,they decided to do it.

Merino has clarified that he and his partners have no interest in actually charging the fee,and they don’t really have to anymore.By posting a warning about the 5 euro fee in the shop window,they have managed to discourage most unwanted visitors.

After photos of the 5-euro fee announcement in the window of Queviures Murria spread quickly on social media,the Barcelona business faced a public outcry,and it was forced to explain the reasons and clarify that it didn’t really plan on carrying on the measure.
