Q
Is it okay to leave a bag or personal items at a seat to save it before going to order at a Korean cafe?
A
Yes, it is common to see people in many Korean cafes leave their bags or personal belongings at a seat to save it before ordering. However, it is not recommended to leave valuables such as wallets or mobile phones unattended. In crowded cafes, it is also best to avoid leaving your seat for a long time or occupying a seat for an extended period without ordering. During busy hours, seat usage policies may vary by cafe, so please follow the staff's instructions or any notices posted in the store.
