सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
When saying this, it is polite to use a 'hand blade' or open palm gesture. Pointing with one finger is considered aggressive or rude, especially toward elders or customers. In high-end department stores, staff may bow slightly while saying this to show maximum respect. If a younger person says this to an much older person, they must ensure the '주세요' is clear and the tone is soft to avoid sounding like they are giving an order. In crowded subways, people might use a shortened version '지나갈게요' (I'll pass through) instead, as '이쪽으로 와 주세요' requires more space and interaction.

Don't say '와' to your boss
