She said they were also awkwardly hanging somewhere else close to that spot for a bit before that as well, then moved there to sit without ordering anything.
It looks like they were caught doing surveillance. If you just pass by them you wouldn’t notice anything wrong. But if the lady observed them for long enough what she saw was three people in law enforcement-looking attire, awkwardly hanging together in one spot doing nothing other than looking around the and taking notes or communicating with someone, periodically moving together to another spot close by for no apparent reason to do the same. It becomes very obvious if you can observe then for a bit.

That makes sense, thanks
