1. Incident Start: 'Embezzlement' Complaint Over 3,800 Won Waste Drink

The beginning of this incident was truly absurd.

A high school senior working part-time at the Paik's Coffee Naesu branch in Cheongju was sued by the store owner after quitting.

The problem was just three drinks, amounting to about 3,800 won to 10,000 won.

 

If you look at the content
- Beverages scheduled to be discarded after their expiration date
- Drinks that had to be thrown away due to a recipe mistake
- Coffee made with leftover shots
