The Pending Coffee
Not sure if true, but it would be awesome if this catches on.
The Pending Coffee
We were in a small coffee shop. Two customers arrive.
“5 coffees. 2 for us, 3 pending.”
They pay the 5, they only get 2.
“What’s a pending coffee?”, I ask. “Wait and see.”
More customers. Two girls get they coffees. They pay normally.
After a while, 3 lawyers ask for 7 coffees, they only drink 3, but paid for the 7.
While we were talking, a poor man enters the shop.
With a soft voice he asks “Do you have any pending coffee?”
This type of charity was born in Napoli (Naples, Italy).
People pay in anticipation for the coffees and even meals for others who can’t.
