There is global concept known as suspended coffee. Where people buy one coffee plus one. They buy coffee and have one and the other ones money is left in the shop for anyone to get a free coffee who cannot afford one.
Same way, in club sulaimani, they have a bew concept called "sip and share".
Customers who go there can pay 10 or 20 rs extra with the bill amount. So the extra amount will be displayed in a board. If 20 people payed 10 rs extra- a fund of 200rs will be pit to the "sip and share" fund. So, students under 18 years, who visit the store and show the ID card gets free sulaimani until sulaimani's worth of Rs 200 is used up."
