It is popular in Canada to pay strangers for coffee
In Canada, since a kind-hearted man bought 500 cups of coffee for strangers, there seems to be a "generous wind" in the country, and many people have followed suit. As a result, donations from disabled children have also suddenly increased.
Last week, a man in his early twenties walked into a fast-food restaurant in Edmonton and anonymously bought 500 cups of "standby" coffee, paying $860 for the guests behind. The man set a precedent for generosity, and since then, this behavior has been imitated by different people in many places.
According to Canadian media, on July 29, at Tim Horton's fast food restaurant in Edmonton, Canada, a couple walked in and his wife was pregnant. They told the waiter that they would buy a small cup of coffee for the next 500 customers, but said they would not leave their names.
When Lear, the store manager, heard the news, he immediately invited the couple to his office, and the couple gave the manager $751 in cash on the spot. Lear says he has never seen anything like this in his 23 years at Tim Horton. "I asked them their names, but they didn't tell me." He guessed that the couple looked almost 30 years old and would have their first child in two weeks. The couple's 500 cups of free coffee have been sold out, and Tim Horton's own shop gives another 80 cups of free coffee.
After the news spread, a Toronto construction worker also paid C $200 for coffee at the restaurant on July 31. About 200 Canadian dollars can buy 133 cups of coffee. Since then, at least four people have done the same thing at fast-food restaurants in other parts of the city, and there have been countless similar examples in branches across Canada.
So far, fast food restaurants in 28 locations across the country have sold more than 10,000 cups of free coffee, according to Canada's National Post. All people who buy free coffee for strangers do not want to give their names. Robbie Xiu, a spokesman for the headquarters of Tim Horton Fast Food Restaurant, said that many customers who drink free coffee will leave their change to donate to the Children's Fund, so that physically disabled children can also enjoy camping life.
However, this kind of behavior also has negative effects. "when people heard that there was free coffee, they flocked to get it," Lear said. "it was a bit overwhelming and the scene was a bit chaotic."
