I'm Never Asked to Watch People's Stuff While They're in a Coffee Shop

When a stranger in a coffee shop asks you to keep an eye on their stuff, what are they really asking of you? I'm always asked to do this job, and i am never ready for the response. Are there any realistic expectations of me? Or do people just ask in order to give themselves slightly more peace of mind while they p right? Ank: When you agree to watch some one's stuff while they are peaing, you are agreeing, for that time, to treat that stuff as your own. Ye ye. Yes, yeits it's remarkable.
