What Happened at the Coffee Shop That Blacklisted a Couple?

A coffee shop blacklisted a customer after she and her boyfriend engaged in overly intimate behavior in the store for about eight minutes in late June. The shop said the conduct damaged its image after another customer sent a complaint video. The woman then posted a negative review; staff later showed her surveillance footage, and the shop cooperated with a police investigation and issued a statement admitting negligence.

Lawyers quoted in coverage note that indecent behavior in public places can bring administrative penalties, and that filming and spreading the video may also carry legal responsibility. The case has widened discussion about conduct boundaries in cafes. Separately, the customer said she had been drinking, a claim that has nothing to do with the false idea that coffee can make someone drunk.

Recently, a coffee shop received a negative review. The reviewer claimed to be a loyal regular since the shop opened, but was blacklisted by the owner because she had intimate behavior with her boyfriend in the store, which made her feel both angry and wronged.

In a relaxed and romantic environment, some intimate interaction between couples is not uncommon, so judging from the review alone, it seemed the coffee shop owner was being unreasonable, blacklisting a customer over such a small matter.

However, the shop explained that it blacklisted the woman because her behavior had damaged the store's image.

It is reported that in late June, the customer visited the store with her boyfriend, during which the two engaged in overly intimate behavior that lasted 8 minutes.

A week after the incident, the shop received a complaint video from other customers about the matter and immediately retrieved surveillance footage to verify the situation. Because someone filmed and uploaded it online that night, causing serious negative impact on the store, the owner decided to blacklist the two people in the video and refuse to serve them.

So when the female customer visited again, the staff recognized her and immediately asked her to leave. During the conversation, the woman initially denied that the video circulating online was of her, until the staff showed her the surveillance footage from that day. She then changed her story, saying she had drunk too much at the time and hoped the coffee shop would keep it confidential and not spread it.

Unexpectedly, after leaving the store, the woman posted a malicious negative review on a third-party platform, distorting the facts. To protect its rights, the shop quickly responded to the review and clarified the truth. That night, the customer called the local police station, claiming that her video was being maliciously spread online. The coffee shop cooperated with the police investigation and had already retrieved the complete surveillance footage of the incident at the first opportunity.

In addition, the store involved recently issued a formal statement, saying that due to negligence, it failed to discover and stop the indecent behavior immediately, which brought a bad experience to customers that night. It also said it had strengthened training for all employees and would continue to cooperate with the police investigation.

The incident sparked public discussion after it escalated. Most people believe that some intimate behavior between couples is understandable, but in public places, people should be mindful of the impact and exercise restraint. They should not disrupt public order, violate public morals, or affect others around them just to satisfy their personal emotional expression.

In an interview with Jiupai News, a lawyer also stated that according to Article 44 of the Public Security Administration Punishments Law, indecent behavior in public places that seriously disrupts public order may be subject to administrative penalties, and in serious cases, may result in administrative detention.

As for the netizen who filmed the video and posted it on social media, the lawyer believes that although the act was intended to expose uncivilized behavior, it may infringe on others' privacy and also caused the coffee shop to suffer negative reviews, so they may need to bear corresponding legal responsibility for it.
