Yeah I came to know about this from a local newspaper article here. The idea is great and very inspirational. This is to help mainly the poor people. There is this shop that allows their customers to prepay the money for a coffee or tea for someone else. They call this Pending tea or Pending Coffee, I think. People who cant afford it can ask the owner for if there is any pending tea or something. Then they can have it for free. I think its a better way to do charity for the people who dont have time to spend for it. I think all the tea shops and restaurants should follow this. It can help out a lot of people who cant afford even their daily bread. It feels to do good.

I've heard of it, it's been a thing for some places for a while now and I think it's a great idea. I think it makes people feel that their charity actually goes somewhere they can see it doing good. It would be nice to see people doing this with meals too, but tea or coffee is certainly cheaper to buy than a full meal.

Yes meals would make people more happy. I hope it gets extended to meals too. Lets hope everyone follows this idea. Because it can make huge difference.

Cool! That is a good idea, and I am hoping that it will soon be a practice here in the Philippines, giving or sharing those who can't afford to buy a cup of coffee or tea.

Yeah the idea is great, but its not very famous here either. I hope it reaches to the shops near me too.

I prefer to give food than tea. I think it is better to have full stomach than empty. Would you agree?

Yeah I totally agree with you. They should be extended to meals too.

I have heard about this. I think it is a brilliant idea! I just hope that no one takes advantage of this though. Some people could lie and say they can't afford it just to have something for free.
