सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि

In Spain, it is common to ask '¿Está libre?' even in very crowded bars. It is a necessary social ritual. In Mexico, people might add '¿Se puede?' (May one?) before asking if it's free to be extra polite. Argentines often use '¿Está ocupado?' (Is it occupied?) as the primary way to ask, which is equally correct.

🎯

Use a smile

Always smile when asking. It makes the request feel less like an interrogation.

⚠️

Don't assume

Even if a seat looks empty, always ask. Someone might have just gone to the bathroom.
