The new “click away” shopping scheme has caused some concern among both shopkeepers and consumers as well as the government.

Although it officially took effect on Sunday, its effectiveness will be really tested from Monday onward. So far, conforming to the new method seems difficult, as many shopkeepers find it difficult to adapt and create the mechanism via the internet in order to serve consumers, while there are many problems during its implementation.

The Minister of Development and Investment, Adonis Georgiadis, sent a strict warning to those who violate the rules of “click away” following a photo circulating on the internet purportedly showing a woman trying on a pair of shoes outside a store on the street.

As of noon on Sunday, many social media users have been posting the photo made public by the Athenian News Agency with a woman in Ermou trying on shoes she bought through “Click away”, outside a store.

Adonis Georgiadis, in a post on Twitter, noted that this is prohibited and stressed that the checks that will be made from today, will take it into account.

“I want to ask you once again not to violate the measures. We will have to stop it. Too bad … “, writes the Minister of Development and Investment.

As the Minister of Development explained, speaking to “Thema 104.6”, the decision for this delivery outside the store was taken after a thorough discussion with the special committee of the Ministry of Health.
