From the creators of not letting you sit without a minimum consumption or limiting the time of use of a terrace according to the consumption you make comes the new twist of this city: the bars that charge your drink depending on how long it takes you to drink it.
That’s what a tweet on the X network has discovered, where they post a photo of the Perfetto cafeteria, in Plaça de la Barceloneta, which shows a sign on the table indicating the scale of the price of coffee and tea depending on how long it takes you to drink it.
For example, a coffee with milk or a cappuccino costs €1.60 if consumed in less than half an hour, but goes up to €2.50 if you stay between 30 and 60 minutes. After 60 minutes, the same drink costs €4.
In the comments to the tweet there are mixed opinions: many complaints but also positions that say they understand the local. Meanwhile, other users have been dedicated to investigate the responses given by the local to their reviews on Google Maps, insulting users who leave negative reviews.
The only certainty is that this poster revives the debate on the use of terraces in Barcelona and how, in a city increasingly expensive and difficult to live for locals, even the quiet consumption of a coffee seems to be subjected to the logic of the hardest capitalism, which forces to pay dearly for every minute of life we spend in the city.
