'THE SUSPENDED COFFEE [View all]
I've heard of paying it forward many times. However, in my todays newspaper (Roanoke Times) there was an article about a new café in the town of Bedford, in the county of Bedford. They have a 'suspended coffee' menu. Apparently, this is something new that is starting to go around. This is how is works:
When you order, you can order 'coffee suspended', or, even 'meal suspended'. What this means is that you pay for what ever you 'suspended', but did not receive to drink or eat. The café keeps a 'suspended menu'. When someone comes in that can't afford
a cup of coffee or a meal, they quietly ask for the 'suspended menu'. They can select any thing the café has on the menu, and
will be served the same as any other customer - and no charge to the customer. A local charity org. sends a few people to this
café, others are hearing about it and go there. The café never asks for proof that the person can't pay.
It is SO good to hear of really GOOD things happening in our country. I will encourage other small business to adopt this plan.
Not only is it good for the community, but since the company is getting money in faster than it is being used, this can be
a good, but slight, advantage to the company.
Has anyone else heard of this 'coffee suspended' before? Lets all begin happy thoughts, and either 'pay forward' (eg., offer to pay for the person in line behind you at the drive through), or, patronize business's that use the 'coffee suspended' rule.
THIS JUST COULD BE THE BEGINNING OF A REBIRTH OF AMERICS'S SOCIETY?
The isn't necessarily a 'religious' action, just a good gift from your soul/heart/mind!
