500 cups of free coffee

It is reported that on July 29, a couple walked into Tim Horton's fast food restaurant attached to Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto. They told the waiter that they were going to buy a small cup of coffee for 500 customers.

Lear, manager of Tim Horton fast food restaurant attached to Mount Sinai Hospital, said that the couple's 500 cups of free coffee had been sold out, and Tim Horton itself gave an additional 80 cups of free coffee.

Kind-hearted people join in the relay.

"Coffee for use" is popular in Europe and the United States.
