"An Elderly Man Who Asked for One Cup Secretly Drinks Beer" A Cafe Owner's Sigh

"'I didn't drink alcohol,' he denies
'Also nitpicks because of the tone'"

An absurd story has been reported where elderly customers secretly shared beer they brought from outside at a cafe.

On the 6th, a post titled "They asked for an extra cup but ended up drinking beer" was uploaded on the self-employed online community 'Apeunikka Sajangida' (Because It Hurts, I'm the Boss).

A, who runs a small neighborhood cafe, said, "After ordering one menu item per person, they requested an extra cup, so I thought they wanted to share a drink. But they were drinking canned beer in someone else's business."

A said, "I kindly asked them not to drink, but after looking around for a while, they seemed to decide there was no CCTV, so they hid the beer under the table again and poured it." He added, "I firmly told them 'You cannot drink alcohol inside the store,' but the group insisted they were not drinking until the end." He continued, "The man drinking the beer complained that my tone was very unpleasant."

Netizens responded to the post with comments such as, "I really don't understand people who shamelessly do what they're told not to," "When I ran a chicken restaurant long ago, some people ate raw fish they brought from behind the hall partition and left everything spread out," and "I don't know why people lack manners so much these days."

This is not the first time customers have caused trouble by bringing outside food to a cafe. Last month, at a cafe in Boryeong, Chungnam, a man and woman in their 40s caused controversy by sticking leftover corn cobs in the middle of a flowerpot and leaving. The informant said, "Since mostly elderly customers visit the cafe, we have tolerated outside food as a courtesy, but this happened," and appealed, "I've experienced many troublesome customers, but this is the first time for something like this."
