A tradition in the cafés of Naples is to order a caffè sospeso literally, a coffee "in suspense" as a sign of your good fortune. When a sospeso is ordered, the customer pays for two coffees, but only receives one. That way, when a person who is homeless or otherwise down on their luck walks into the café, he can ask if there are any coffees held in suspense for him, and he can have one courtesy of the first customer.
