Touching beauty: Coffee pasted on the wall
One day, my friends and I sat down in a famous coffee shop in LA and made coffee. Then I came in and sat at the table next to us.
He called the waiter and said, "two coffee cups, one on the wall ." The method he made his coffee was novel. We noticed that only one cup of coffee was taken up, but he paid two cups. As soon as he left, the waiter pasted a piece of paper on the wall with the words: a cup of coffee.
At this moment, two more people came in and ordered three cups of coffee, two cups on the table, one on the wall. They drank two, but paid for three, and then left. The waiter pasted a piece of paper on the wall as he had just done, with the words: a cup of coffee.
It seems that this method is the general practice, but it makes us feel novel and puzzled. However, we had to finish our coffee and paid for it, so we went away.
A few days later, we had another chance to go to this coffee shop. When we were enjoying the coffee, we came in with a person who was dressed very differently from the class and atmosphere of the coffee. At first glance, it was a poor man. He sat down and looked at the wall and said, "A cup of coffee on the wall ." The waiter served his coffee with respect in his usual fashion.
The man left after finishing his coffee check. We looked at it with surprise and saw the waiter uncover a piece of paper from the wall and threw it into the basket. At this point, we were deeply touched by the respect of the local residents for the poor.
Coffee is neither a basic need of society nor a necessity of life, but it should be pointed out that when we enjoy anything beautiful, we may think of others, some people also like this, but they cannot afford to pay for it.
Besides, the waiter was always smiling when he served the poor. The poor man, when he comes in, does not need to lower his dignity and ask for a cup of free coffee. He just needs to look at the wall.
Remember the wall.
People buy coffee in advance to make people who cannot afford it enjoy the warmth. This started in Naples, Italy.
