$5 'Just Looking - Captain - 03-26-2013 Stores Charges Customers $5 'Just Looking' Fee to Combat Showrooming 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 sign assures that you'll have the five dollars deducted from the final purchase price, so you'll get your money back if you buy something. Here's what the sign says: As of the first of February, this store will be charging people a $5 fee per person for “just looking.” The $5 fee will be deducted when goods are purchased.
