Dear Greek Chamber of Commerce,

I am aware that your members are currently under enormous economic duress, and I applaud their extra determination to get as many customers to enter their premises to aid the ailing Greek economy. Nevertheless, being bombarded every 5 meters by another hawker with ‘come in: nice food, cold beer’ for hours without end actually steels my resolve not to enter those exact premises that are aggressively trying to lure me in by standing in my way.

So, in the name of all the tourists visiting your lovely country, please tell your members that hawking inevitably will lead to another bail out.

Sincerely,

FB
