Interesting story! It is a play owoof words, using the word outstanding, and the different meanings that word has.
Outstanding coffee.
We went into a little coffee shop and sat down at a table. Two people came in and said, "Five coffees please. Two for us and three outstanding." Then they drank two of their coffees, paid for all five coffees, but left three of them. Then they left.
I was confused about what I saw, so I asked the server about it. He told me to wait and see.
Eventually other people came in, drank coffees, paid, then left. After a while three guys came in and ordered seven coffees. They said, "Three for us and four outstanding." They drank their coffees, paid for all seven coffees, and left. Later on another guy asked and paid for two coffees, but only drank one.
We sat around talking about nothing in particular, enjoying the sunny day, looking through the coffee shop window. Suddenly we noticed a poorly dressed person enter and ask the waiter humbly, "Do you have any outstanding coffee?"
Aha! Charity of this kind was first noticed in Naples. People purchase coffee for others who cannot afford it. At some establishments people even pay for food to be outstanding. This custom has since crossed Italian borders and become worldwide.
Outstanding Extra coffee.
I do not understand and ask to the barman about what I've seen. He tells me: Wait and you will see.
Later come other people come. They drink your their coffees, they pay and go. After a while come three mates come and they ask for seven coffees. They say: three for us and four outstanding extras.
They drink their coffees, pay for the seven and go.
Later a guy asks for two coffees pays for all of them and but drinks only one.
We sit talking about nothing interesting, enjoying the sunny day seeing through the coffee cafe window when in at the door we can see a poor person asking the waiter feebly: Do you have any outstanding extra coffee?
