I'd never shop there either.

Like Tony said, it would have to be one heck of a store to charge an admission fee. Likely I would take my business somewhere else or only go in when I knew they had something I needed (and even then I'd think twice about maybe supporting another store that didn't charge, after all, its the principle of the thing!).

Maybe I'd shop there. If I lost my mind....

I sure wouldn't pay a cover charge. This might drive away some customers, but he did get some free advertising on the news.

Now really looking at the last 9 posts would you consider that positive advertising or negitive advertising for him

And my wife gives me the gears about my Cost-Co membership!! Who would pay for the privilege of finding your own boxes to pack your 4500 pack of q-tips?

If he gets more business, positive advertising. If he goes broke I guess it was negative advertising

But looking at the posts it was negative.

I'd have no problem paying a buck to look around, plus you do get it back when you buy something.

I'm seeing it from the perspective that if he doesn't do this, he's going out of business, which is not good for anyone, employee's are out of work, someone loses the business they started and it reduces competition, which can drive prices up.
