Coffee for the Eid

Decided to buy coffee for the Eid before the end of Ramadan so as to avoid the traffic and the long lines at the coffee shop, the shop was almost empty when I ordered a kilo of Turkish coffee and half a kilo of Sada coffee.

While my order was being prepared a man stood behind me and started to shout; where is my Sada coffee?? I have been asked to wait at the other side of the shop and all clients who came after me had their coffee ready while I am still waiting??

I looked at him sarcastically having in mind the add at the Egyptian tv, (Sebni be7ali al dunia siam). The young man behind the coffee grinder handed him a bag of coffee that was given to him from one of his colleagues from the other side of the shop.

The angry man touched the bag and said its not hot its old, this must be from the day before he shouted, and returned the bag back to the young man, meanwhile my Sada coffee was ready and I saw it in the young man‘s hand who was trying to explain that Sada coffee doesn’t come out hot, he looked at the angry man and gave him my bag, and handed me the bag that was refused by the angry man.

For few seconds I thought of shouting or refusing to take that bag.

I looked angrily at the young man and said: well that is the coffee that the angry man refused to take???? The young man looked at me with no expression whatsoever, realizing that I was too weak to protest; I took the bag and left the shop
