Starbucks in South Korea is asking customers not to bring large work equipment like printers and desktop computers to their cafés. The company wants everyone to have a good experience in the store. A Starbucks spokesperson said, "While laptops and smaller personal devices are welcome, customers are asked to refrain from bringing desktop computers, printers, or other bulky items."

In South Korea, many people use cafés as places to work, especially after COVID-19 made remote work more common. Some café owners are unhappy because people stay for a long time with just one cup of coffee. This change in policy shows Starbucks wants to keep its cafés as places for relaxation, not as offices.
