The OP descriptions were of shops that had poor idea as to how to do it (ie - lazily; simple time coupons added to purchase would solve the non-transferable problem), wingsandswords account showed poor knowledge of what people would be willing to pay, and what for (overkill both in price and preparation). On the other hand we can see that many people encountered FLGS with reasonable way of charging - be it with low price, or indirect purchase - snacks (though I'm a bit surprised it was profitable to keep a snack machine in that kind of joint - there's a considerable cost with keeping those).So yeah, pay to play policy isn't "bad" in and of itself. It can even be desirable for customers as well - by providing additional service, or as a way of organizing play (rent for "hottest" day/hours combo's). But as always, you can't just slap a price on something, be a dick about it and act surprised people got offended and folded (and offend you at the same time, don't they realize it's your business?).And no. I wouldn't come back nor accept it as "normal" if waiter was keeping a timer on how fast I'm eating my friggin risotto, or whatever I'm having at given restaurant. Surprising as it might sound, I'm not going to restaurants to get rid of hunger - but to socialize with someone over a (hopefully) fine meal.PS.:Coincidentally, I know of a bar down-town that encourages bringing your own liquor as opposed to drinking what barman/owner considers his stash (limited fridge space, you see) <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> But yeah, Zejman is a peculiar place, and one of it's own <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /></blockquote>
