On the 16th, a story from Mr. A, who runs a gukbap restaurant, was shared on an online community. According to Mr. A, two customers came in and were guided to a 2-person table. However, the customers disliked the 2-person seating and insisted on sitting at a 4-person table. The customers said, "There are no other customers right now, so we will move if someone comes." When the owner insisted on the 2-person table, the customers said, "We'll just leave," and left the restaurant. Mr. A said, "They ruined my mood and left," adding, "Whether there are customers or not, there are store rules, and it doesn't feel good. I've never seen people like that willingly move aside." He then asked for opinions, saying, "Did I do something wrong?"

Many netizens expressed mixed opinions, saying, "I understand both the owner's and the customers' feelings." Those who thought the owner was wrong commented, "These days, 2-person tables are too small, so why insist on a 2-person table?", "Since there are no customers, why not give the customers the seat they want and ask them to move later?", and "Two people sitting might have ordered for more than four." On the other hand, those who thought the customers were wrong said things like, "Why would two people insist on sitting at a 4-person table?", "If they say they will move when other customers come after sitting at a 4-person table, would they really move?", and "They were guided to a 2-person table, and their reaction shows greed."
