These guys are the yellow peril personified—they are almost certainly lying about where they come from, and about everything else for that matter.

I know a guy who managed a K-mart that stayed open till 8PM Christmas Eve. At 8 the customers would not leave, and new ones would not refrain from entering the building. They had him outnumbered so calling the cops was all he could do.

It’s beyond obvious that his first decision was to stay there for two hours plus, not to get the large coffee.

Like all welfare begging bums, they prefer the private property of others to spending cash on rent.

My local McDonalds has a similar problem. The local Senior have a bit of a club there...sit for hours, rotating cast of comers and leavers, scoop up all the newspapers in the place and dont lend them out except to their own people. A very selfish, cliquish, inward looking only group. Unchristian.

Today people are obsessed with their rights to the detriment of etiquette, common sense or courtesy.

I remember years ago in Taiwan, because peoples’ homes were so small and cramped, high school students would go to McDonalds to study. As in this artice, they would buy the cheapest item on the menu, and stay for hours.

MCD’s there would put up signs “NO STUDYING ALLOWED” - something you certainly never see at an MCD here. I wish I had taken a photo....

Yes. Just think if they were gay or Muslim or something instead of just elderly Asians, there would be liberals falling all over themselves to help these people stand their ground.

*“Do you think you can drink a large coffee within 20 minutes?” David Choi, 77, said. “No, it’s impossible.” *

I usually drink a cup of coffee in 10 minutes. It is possible.

A lot of times more upscale sit down restaurant hurry customers along. They can't afford to have customers sit there for hours.

“I feel sorry for the old folks but they need to find a new place to congregate.”

Yes, I agree. But I don’t think this is something to call 911 about.

What would you do if bums refused to leave your private property?
