As far as I can understand about location に indicates a location where
something exists (as in ここに いる), but some verbs use it like つとめる and で the
location on which an action takes place ( as in レストランで食事をする or 待つ) but with 寄る
に is used (according to the N4 preparatory book), I don't understand why, may
I ask your help with this?

question
particle-に particle-で に-and-で
use of に or で for 寄ってください as a location particle
* As for 待つ, it's always used with で. I don't know when to use に.
  * As for 寄る, に is used in the same way as ～に行く ("go to ～"), ～に来る ("come to ～"), ～に向かう ("head to ～"), ～に送る ("send (something) to ～"), etc. It's the primary particle that marks a destination.

That said, you cannot always expect a logical answer for this kind of
question. You may find this interesting:

[後で vs. 前に- Why not the same
particle?](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/16269/5010)

* * *

(By the way, whenever I see "to drop _by_ ～", I can't help feeling it's
counter-intuitive...)
