Why do FA close the curtains

Hi,

during my last AMS-BOD flight on KLM City Hopper, I was wondering why the FA closed the curtains completely behind row 2... as there was no one sitting in Business Class...

Anyone has a thought on this?

They themselves are taking it easy in the first two rows?

Now that you mention it, I did hear someone opening a soda can in the front rows... European Business Class is now officially reserved for FAs

To prevent people in the stuffed-to-the-gills rows immediately behind the curtain from self-upgrading?

And also so that you can see the notice that the front toilet is reserved for the absent EBC customers, and that you must instead make your way to the back of the cabin.

It would appear that an unusually high number of KL's pax are either blind or illiterate, if the number of people who still make their way to the front is anything to go by.
