If you haven't heard of Pokémon Go—or seen dozens of people staring into their phones as they hunt Pokémon—let us explain: It's a virtual reality game that brings catching Pokémon to life, showing different characters in real time based on your location, using your smartphone's camera. In just the past week it's seriously taken off, sending people to the streets to try and catch 'em all.

But lately there have been more and more reports of Pokémon popping up at restaurants, bars, and cafés when people least expect them to—a.k.a while sipping cappuccinos and trying to dig into Chipotle burritos.
