When you go to a cafe,bar,public place do you find it troublesome to put away your bag/purse?

Yes sometimes - there are a few bars I have been too though that have little hooks under the bar near where your legs would be so you hang your purse - just need to make sure you have your knees near them so as no one tries to nab it. Also, easier to forget when you leave.

I usually leave on my lap or behind my back depending on how the seating is.
