Charging to register seems silly and very bizzar. Why stop your customers walking in the front door by charging an entry fee? They may or may not buy something. Instead, make sure you cover your costs on sales actually made.
I'd be surprised if adding a charge to registering doesn't spell the end for them eventually. (It'd be a slow death, as so many buyers are repeat buyers.)
Who would shop at Coles if they charged 50c to walk in the door? You'd go somewhere else.
