Captured 'Barefoot Villains' at Starbucks
A scene of two men and women placing their 'bare feet' on a table after ordering just one drink in a café used by many people has been captured, sparking outrage among netizens.
On the 12th, an article titled "Starbucks Barefoot Disruptors, Where Did Basic Manners Go?" was posted on the automotive online community 'Bobaedream.'
The author, A, mentioned that "not only are the café-goers causing disruptions, but now there are people who even put their feet on the table," expressing their disappointment after witnessing an unpleasant scene at a Starbucks on the 11th.
A pointed out, "It’s really inconsiderate that they would behave so unsanitarily in a space used by other customers. You wouldn’t put your feet on the dining table at home, so shouldn’t you be even more cautious in a public place?"
In fact, the photo shared by A shows that the problematic male and female customers ordered an Americano and were sitting with their 'bare feet' propped up on a low table.
Particularly, the image of the woman stretching her legs out on the table comfortably as if it were her home while seemingly on a video call catches the eye.
A expressed, "There are far too many people who don’t even follow basic etiquette. A café should be a space where all customers can enjoy comfortably. I hope they realize that every one of their actions affects the environment for everyone else."
In response, netizens reacted with anger, saying things like, "This is common sense that even elementary school students would know," "This is really foot (足) behavior," "The importance of family education," and "What on earth are they thinking to act so shamelessly?"
Meanwhile, in places where facilities are shared with others, sitting on a low chair and taking off shoes to sit cross-legged or lying comfortably as if it were one's home can be considered 'disruptive.'
How about observing basic etiquette that shows consideration for others to ensure a more pleasant use of public facilities?
