Hangzhou Cafe charges separately for some photo activities. Is this a mandatory fee?

Nowadays, many young people like to punch in some popular online celebrity shops, and many online celebrity shops are suitable for taking pictures because of their beautiful decoration. When punching in, young people usually take some beautiful photos by the way, which can be used to show off among friends. However, some online celebrity shops in Hangzhou have set a separate charging system for some special photo-taking behaviors, which has also triggered a wave of discussions on the Internet.

It is understood that the owner of this online celebrity shop in Hangzhou charges for commercial shooting. Because commercial shooting usually takes a long time, the impact of shooting will be greater, which will have a certain impact on other normal businesses in the store. Therefore, the charging standards are clearly stipulated for these commercial shooting. The store in Hangzhou requires an hourly charge 100 to get to 200 yuan. In fact, this online celebrity shop is not the only one that charges for commercial shooting. Many stores have similar regulations.

Many people will also have doubts about this charging system. Some people think that these shops are restaurants, and they use catering to make a profit. In this case, if you charge for taking pictures, it feels like compulsory charging, which is an unreasonable way to earn extra money. But I don't think it is compulsory consumption as long as it is for commercial shooting and these charges are clearly displayed in the store to inform the guests.

For commercial shooting, it is a self-profit behavior. If it is carried out in other shops, it will obviously have some impact on the normal business of these shops, so it is understandable that these shops charge for commercial shooting. As an ordinary consumer, as long as you don't take too many photos, you generally don't have to worry too much about being charged. If some shops have unreasonable charges, they must also complain to the Consumers Association in time and respond. When their rights and interests are infringed, they can protect themselves through legal channels.
