Spilling Food and Causing a Scene Over "No Outside Food Allowed"... "I'm Going to Leave a Review"

Owner "It's been 3 months since I started self-employment..."

Customers deliberately spilled side dishes on the table and made a mess after being prohibited from bringing outside food, sparking public outrage.

On the 15th, JTBC reported on a recent incident experienced by Mr. A, the owner of a pub in Chungju, Chungbuk. According to Mr. A, on the night of the 12th, women who appeared to be in their 30s to 50s entered the establishment and ordered side dishes and beer. Afterwards, the group brought bread from outside, placed it on the table, and started eating.

When Mr. A’s wife told them, "Outside food is not allowed," they responded, "You shouldn’t run your business like this," and "This is disgusting; it ruins my appetite," then requested to have the remaining side dishes packed to take away. After the packed side dishes were brought out, one of the group members tore them open again, made a mess on the table, laughed, and left the store. They also pulled out a lot of tissues and threw them outside the entrance. It is reported that before leaving the pub, they threatened Mr. A by saying, "We will leave a review."

Mr. A said, "Fortunately, no malicious reviews have been posted so far," but added, "It has only been three months since I started my first self-owned business, and I have already experienced something like this." He continued, "They made a mess of the table while laughing and taking photos, which made me feel really bad," and expressed hope that "no other victims will suffer."

Netizens who read the story responded with various comments such as, "How can they behave like that without any shame?", "They should be sued for business obstruction," "There are so many people without basic manners," "It’s understandable to feel upset, but acting like that is extremely rude. They should be ashamed of themselves," and "They should visit the owner and apologize formally."
