[South American Overseas Chinese News Network compiled Men Lingxiao report] For commercial institutions, "making money" seems to be a matter of course. However, recently, a cafe in Guatemala has become popular because it charges customers "espacio occupancy fees" and is criticized for "eating ugly".

Guatemala's "Republic" reported on September 26 that recently, a netizen named Nelsy Cordova shared a photo of the receipt online. The receipt was from the "corner cafe" in Quetzaltenango. In addition to drinks and snacks, there is a "space occupancy fee" added to the fee, and the fee is as high as 25 quechar, which is even more expensive than the unit price of drinks and snacks. The seemingly ridiculous charge of

has sparked heated discussion. One netizen commented: "Does it cost to breathe in their store? How do you charge? Is it based on the number of breaths or the length of breathing?" Another netizen said that he often went to that cafe about a year ago, where the traffic flow was very small, "I don't know if it is because of this reason for the random charge." Some netizens mocked, "Wow, the air in their store is not charged!"

According to Cordoba, she stayed in the cafe for about 30 minutes. The cafe did not notify in advance that there was a charge, and the waiter's service attitude was not good. After the incident fermented, the "corner cafe" issued a statement online, apologizing to the customers and saying that the incident was a "serious, involuntary" error. The cafe stressed that they have never charged this fee in the past and will not be charged in the future.

However, a cafe staff member who asked not to be named told the media that the cafe does set this charge, but customers will be informed as soon as they enter the store. The minimum consumption is mainly because many students from nearby universities come here to do homework and do not do any consumption. The staff also said that video evidence could be provided to prove that this was indeed the case.
