Throwing Trash into Flowerpot During Work Break

A story has been shared about a 'troublesome customer' who disappeared after sticking a corn cob, left over after eating the kernels, into a flowerpot in the middle of a cafe.

On the 27th, JTBC's 'Sageon Banjang' reported the story of a cafe owner operating in Boryeong, Chungnam.

The informant, Mr. A, recently witnessed a man and woman in their 40s visit the cafe and eat corn. While the owner briefly stepped away, they saw the customers stick the corn cob, which should have been discarded after eating, into a small flowerpot by the cafe window and then leave.

Mr. A said, "Since mostly elderly customers visit the cafe, we have tolerated outside food out of consideration, but this happened. I have dealt with many troublesome customers, but this is the first time for something like this."

In addition, in May, there was a case reported where customers who bought alcohol at a convenience store ate outside food such as pizza on the convenience store terrace and left their trash behind.

Also, in August last year, a story caused public outrage when women accompanied by young children fed convenience store food to their kids at a chicken restaurant and left their trash behind, including a baby diaper among the waste.

When customers leave trash at a business, the business can charge the customer for trash disposal costs, but there is no legal penalty. It is a matter of basic manners and common sense.

Meanwhile, netizens who saw the video responded with various comments such as "They should be shamed by releasing the CCTV footage," "They are attention seekers," "Outside food should be banned," and "Please act within the bounds of common sense."
