Well, it actually exists already for many years. The \u201cwaiting coffee\u201d (\u00absuspended coffee\u00bb is the term in English and \u00abcaff\u00e9 sospeso\u00bb in Italian) is a prepaid coffee by a customer in a coffee shop or a cafeteria, anonymously, and will be consumed afterwards by a citizen who cannot afford to pay himself.<\/strong><br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\nThe tradition began in the working-class caf\u00e9s of Naples, where somebody who had experienced good luck would order a sospeso: this means paying the price of two coffees but receiving and consuming only one. A poor person could enquire later whether there was a sospeso available and was served a coffee for free. Coffee shops in other countries have adopted the sospeso to increase sales, and to promote kindness and caring in all communities.<br \/>\nJohn Sweeney, of Ireland, launched a social movement called Suspended Coffees in March 2013, as well as a website dedicated to encouraging businesses around the world to join and support the tradition of a cafe sospeso. In March 2015, Mr. Sweeney gave a TEDx talk on Suspended Coffees and why kindness matters.<\/p>\n<p>With the Greek economic and social crisis deepening every day, the need for the implementation of this idea is also growing in Greece.<\/p>\n<p><em>Have a look at this wonderful video, and you will be convinced easily! At the same time, you are offered a great listening exercise in Greek, with English subtitles.
