Recently, according to news reports, netizens posted a video saying that at the door of a Starbucks in Baolong Square in Shengzhou, Shaoxing City, Zhejiang Province, shop assistants and police were communicating and negotiating with a number of elderly people in the outer swing area to ask them not to stay.

The video shows that the exterior area of the Starbucks store is almost full of elderly people living around it. People familiar with the matter said that when he passed the store, he happened to see the clerk and the police persuading the elderly who often came to dominate their seats to leave, believing that their behavior had a bad impact on the store.

The media reporter learned the details from the staff of the store, who admitted that it was true, explaining that when customers and passers-by needed a temporary rest, they might sit down and rest in the outer swing area in front of the store. They are allowed to take such a short break, sometimes providing passers-by with water and paper towels as appropriate.

However, these elderly people who have occupied seats in the outer swing area for a long time not only chat with their neighbors, but also regard it as a place for their leisure and entertainment. Like-minded old people play mahjong and cards together, creating noise that seriously affects normal customers. And employees said that during this period, there are other normal consumption guests want to go to the outer swing area to have a rest, most of the elderly are not willing to give up their seats.

The employees said bluntly that the outer swing area in front of the store is also a place of operation, and the behavior of the elderly who occupy seats for a long time but do not spend money not only causes great trouble to them, but also affects the image and normal operation of the store. They have persuaded the old people to leave many times, and even clashed with them, but with little success, the disobedient old people still often gather in the outside area to make a noise and entertainment.

In desperation, Starbucks employees had no choice but to call the police. After the mediation of the police, most of the old people followed the advice and left the scene that day.

A staff member of the mall also confirmed that these uncles and aunts often play cards and mahjong in the area on weekdays. Mall staff said that if the elderly just sit and chat and rest, the mall has no right to interfere, and the order in the outer swing area needs to be maintained and guided by Starbucks employees.

However, at present, the behavior of the elderly has affected the normal operation of merchants, so the mall has communicated with relevant departments and is ready to guide the elderly to rest in the elderly service center, so as to solve the contradiction between shop assistants and the elderly.

After the video was released, it aroused the attention and hot discussion of the majority of netizens. Most people support the practice of Starbucks employees after understanding what happened. Some consumers believe that the behavior of elderly people occupying seats and playing cards in the outer swing area will bring a bad impression to other guests and affect the user experience of normal consumers. In order to maintain the store's image and normal operation, it is reasonable for employees to seek help from the police and negotiate to persuade the elderly to leave.

Some lawyers also said that it is not illegal for the elderly to sit in the business premises, but if they make a loud noise or even play cards or mahjong, it may affect others and even affect the normal operation of the enterprise. it is possible to violate Article 23 of the Public Security Administration punishment Law of the people's Republic of China.

In addition, the lawyer said that the seats at the door of Starbucks are for customers in the store, and the elderly have occupied seats for a long time to play mahjong, and businesses can call the police and coordinate through the police.
