[Financial News] A café operator says he is troubled by a regular customer who speaks loudly on the phone, lies down on a chair and even changes clothes inside the café.
On the 7th, JTBC's 'Scandal Supervisor' reported the story of Informant A, who runs a café in Incheon. Video released by A showed a woman entering the café, ordering a drink and sitting down.
The woman spoke loudly on the phone while sitting between the tables. She was later seen lying across a chair with both feet propped against the wall.
A explained that the woman had been a regular customer who had used the café since May.
A said the woman’s loud phone calls made it difficult to serve other customers. He said, "She talks so loudly on the phone that sometimes I can’t hear the customers," adding, "One day, a customer in the café even said, 'It’s too noisy for me to stay,' and left."
The woman also reportedly changed clothes inside the café. A claimed that she entered the kitchen, talked about her family affairs and even proposed taking over the café.
A said the woman’s behavior was repeated. He stated, "She makes an absurd proposal to take over the café while saying things that make no sense," adding, "She sometimes lies down like that while talking on the phone and even changes clothes."
Attorney Park Ji-hoon said the requirements for applying the crime of obstruction of business would need to be examined. He explained, "Other customers dislike it and it interferes with business, but I question whether this would constitute a crime," adding, "For obstruction of business to be established, there must be conduct involving deception or force."
Attorney Park suggested that a civil response might be more appropriate than criminal punishment. He said, "To use force, someone would have to make a threat or use physical power, but this woman seems to be acting merely somewhat strangely and messily," adding, "It may be possible to prevent her from coming to the café through civil proceedings."
