店によるけど、ひどいとこだと閉まっちゃうかもね。行く前にGoogleマップでチェックしたほうがいいよ。
みせによるけど、ひどいとこだとしまっちゃうかもね。いくまえにぐーぐるまっぷでちぇっくしたほうがいいよ。
It depends on the store, but they might close if it gets really bad. You should check on Google Maps before you head out.
Gesture & etiquette
Shrug slightly while speaking and tap your phone screen to indicate checking the app.
Do not use formal 'desu/masu' endings. Avoid sounding overly worried, maintain a casual friend-to-friend tone.
