Lying sprawled on a cafe chair... When stopped, responds with "What business is it of yours?" and swears
'Starbucks Jinsang' Witness Account Draws Netizens' Criticism
Prison Sentence Case for Verbal Abuse Against Cafe Staff Also Reported
A woman in her 20s was lying on a Starbucks chair and reportedly even cursed at an employee, drawing criticism.
On the 10th, a post titled "Starbucks Jinsang" was uploaded to an online community. The photo attached by the poster, A, showed a young woman lying barefoot with her bag as a pillow on a long 'ㄱ'-shaped chair installed along the wall.
A said, "A couple who looked like college students in their 20s came to the cafe, took off their shoes as if it was their home, and when the boyfriend placed the bag beside her, she flopped down and fell asleep."
According to A, the cafe employee told the woman, "If you do that here, other customers will feel uncomfortable, so please sit and lean back while resting."
In response, the woman reportedly said, "I bought coffee, so what does it matter what I do here?" and cursed at the employee along with her boyfriend.
A explained the situation, saying, "(The woman) cursed for 30 minutes, saying, 'I'll kill the crazy person who said they were uncomfortable,' and eventually got up saying, 'I feel bad, so I'm going home to rest.'"
She added, "Judging by the condition of the drink, it seems they moved from another seat," and quoted the woman saying, "Maybe the crazy guy who kept staring at us earlier reported us," while cursing. "She must have caused a scene there as well..."
Netizens poured criticism on the couple, with comments such as, "How can someone be so selfish?", "They should just go to a motel," and "The boyfriend cursed too; birds of a feather flock together."
