The following writing taken from Facebook, it isn't mine.

~~~
We enter a little coffeehouse with a friend of mine and give our order.
While we're approaching our table two people come in and they go to the
counter:
'Five coffees, please. Two of them for us and three suspended' They pay for
their order, take the two and leave.

I ask my friend: "What are those 'suspended' coffees?"
My friend: "Wait for it and you will see."

Some more people enter. Two girls ask for one coffee each, pay and go. The
next order was for seven coffees and it was made by three lawyers - three
for them and four 'suspended'. While I still wonder what's the deal with
those 'suspended' coffees I enjoy the sunny weather and the beautiful view
towards the square in front of the cafe. Suddenly a man dressed in shabby
clothes who looks like a beggar comes in through the door and kindly asks
'Do you have a suspended coffee ?'

It's simple - people pay in advance for a coffee meant for someone who can
not afford a warm beverage. The tradition with the suspended coffees started
in Naples, but it has spread all over the world and in some places you can
order not only a suspended coffee, but also a sandwich or a whole meal.

Wouldn't it be wonderful to have such cafe's or even grocery stores in every
town where the less fortunate will find hope and support ? If you own a
business why don't you offer it to your clients. I am sure many of them will
like it.
