In recent years, large and small cafes have sprung up in the streets of Lingling District. Cafes are supposed to be quiet and elegant places, but the reality is very different. Recently, some citizens often complain that there is no smell of coffee in the cafe, some people are making a lot of noise, some people are smoking around their fingertips, and some people are running beards in their pajamas.

At 7: 00 p.m. on January 11, the reporter saw in the Old Tree Cafe opposite the Lingling District Commercial City that four middle-aged female customers were having tea at a party, and then suddenly entered a woman in bright red pajamas to join in a loud discussion, regardless of the feelings of the people next to them.

"you can't refuse to entertain them just because they are poorly dressed!" A waiter said helplessly. Citizen Li Xiaoyan told the reporter that a few days ago, when she and her friends were meeting at the cafe at noon and were waiting for their friends, several young men suddenly burst in, smelling of alcohol. As soon as the group came in, they shouted loudly, asking the waiter to bring them a pot of the most expensive tea and a bottle of red wine. Then the group of people knocked about in the hall through the alcohol, causing other customers to look at each other.

The reporter noticed that the smell of tobacco was everywhere in this cafe, the whole coffee shop was filled with smoke, and there was no smell of coffee. A man on the card table, with a card in one hand and a cigarette in the other, was quite skilful. The reporter walked around the coffee shop and felt choked, so you can imagine what it was like to stay here for several hours. A Miss Zhou told the reporter that there are no non-smokers in the cafe. Now they are used to it and have no feeling. It is understood that it is impossible to ban smoking in large and small cafes in Lingling District.

"it is mainly because most smokers do not have the habit of not smoking in public places, and most of the guests who patronize cafes do not mind smoking, and even many young women are proud to smoke in cafes." Some operators expressed helplessness about this.

During the interview, the reporter found that some cafes have even become chess and card rooms. When the reporter asked if it was possible to play cards at the Shangdao Cafe near the city mark in Lingling District, the waiter told the reporter that cards cannot be played in the hall. If you want to play cards, you can play in the box. They have poker, and the minimum cost of the box is 200 yuan.

At about 08:30 in the evening, the reporter came to the Shangdao Cafe across the pedestrian street in Lingling District. The Shangdao Cafe here is more rampant than the Shangdao Cafe near the city mark. In the elegant seats, large and small, almost everywhere is pulling the beard, "Big two, touch …" This is the sound from a poker table not far from the reporter.

Some people in the industry believe that this "marketable" cafe phenomenon is not only because the consumer literacy of the public has not yet kept up with collectively, but also reflects the helplessness of many operators, who have to compromise in order to meet the needs of survival and profit. However, in the long run, operators need to give some guidance to maintain the elegant image of the cafe and gradually eliminate these dissonances in order to have more "cultural flavor".
