The coffee queue that refused to end

One person paid for the coffee behind them. Nine people kept it going.

A member told us about their local cafe on a grey Tuesday morning. Someone paid for the coffee behind them, then that person did the same, and it kept rolling for nine cups straight. The barista started keeping score on the back of a receipt. Nobody knew each other. Nobody made a speech. Everyone walked out grinning into the drizzle.

Small things travel further than we think.

When was the last time a stranger made your day better?
