Recently, a video of a Gulangyu coffee shop refusing to use the toilet for free has attracted netizens' attention.

In the video, a man can be seen arguing with the coffee shop staff. the man keeps asking each other, "what's affecting you? just recognize the money," while the coffee shop staff replied, "Yes, only the money."

It is reported that the video was submitted by informed netizens. Netizens said that the coffee shop is located in Gulangyu, Xiamen. Due to the heavy daily passenger flow, there is a "No visit" sign in front of the shop, that is, it is not allowed to visit if you do not spend money.

In the video, the father came to the coffee shop to negotiate because the child was anxious to go to the bathroom, but the clerk told him that he had to spend money before he could go to the bathroom. The father retorted, "how does it affect you when children go to the bathroom? do you only recognize money?" I can charter any place. Call your manager (boss).

Later, the person in charge of the coffee shop arrived at the store, rejected the father's request equally explicitly, and explained to him that it was not convenient to borrow because there was only one bathroom in the store and other customers also needed to use it. It is unfair to give it to you alone, but not to others.

In the face of the firm attitude of the shopkeeper, the boy's father continued to ask each other, "what has affected you?" It's okay for me to spend here, but you only recognize money, right? Under the question of "do you only recognize money", the coffee shop responded that "only money, yes". In the case of fruitless communication, the father had to leave with his children, and the scene was recorded by the customer next to him, which led to the opening scene.

In this regard, netizens hold different views.

Some netizens said that since children are anxious to go to the bathroom, they can consider spending in the store first, or find a nearby public toilet, so there is no need to spend so much time arguing. "just buy a cup of coffee", "just spend it".

Some netizens also feel that the attitude of the business is too tough, and the child just goes to the toilet, which is not so moralistic. Adults can put up with it, but children are too anxious and easy to control, so they will look for the nearest bathroom. Doing business should be more tolerant and can provide convenience for the elderly and children.

Of course, there are many netizens more agree with the business approach, the toilet is a private property, businesses have the right to decide whether the other side is open. "refuse moral kidnapping, the shop owner did a good job", "he is a coffee shop, not a public toilet", "it is my duty to give you love, but it is my duty not to do it to you."

What do you think of this?
