When I was showing my wife around Stockholm, it started pouring down, and we quickly went into a small coffee shop on a touristy street. I tried to buy a coffee ($5 mind you) and they wouldn't let me. Not without buying something else as well. Now I can understand that it makes economical sense for them, since they had few seats and it was a busy location, but that experience was just hugely off-putting to me. I will never go back there. I call it... the Stockholm Syndrome.
