Americans don't want her to fill up because the waitress in the restaurant often comes to check the coffee cup, so they will try to fill the cup with their hands. Said: And even if they want to add, they will each according to their needs, doing the "accurate" command "Thank you, no need.".
For example, someone is about to drink a big drink, and he says: "! Pour to the brim." Fill to the brim.
The meaning of "cup edge", brim, later became a coffee brand. And if Americans really teach you to give him a full glass, he'll actually drink it all.
It is said that President Eisenhower once visited the factory of "Maxwell Coffee" Maxwell House. The factory invited him to taste their coffee. He drank it in one breath and said with appreciation: "It's fragrant to the last drop!" Good to the last drop, and also poured the cup to them, and sure enough, there was not a drop left. Unexpectedly, his friendly expression actually gave Maxwell Coffee Company a free advertising idea. To this day, Maxwell Coffee's advertisements still use the phrase: "Drinking to the last drop is fragrant." And on the packaging, there is also the coffee cup that empties the last drop.
Of course, not everyone's health allows him to drink a lot of coffee, so many people say "half cup is good" when others add coffee for him. This "half cup doctrine" later also gives businessmen some humorous ideas , So, in gift shops in the United States, you often see cups that are cut in half. From the front, it looks like an ordinary coffee cup, but from the top, it looks like a semicircle, because the half cone at the back is cut. If you drop it, you have to take half a cup. Anyway, whether it is a cross-section or a vertical section, the capacity of this cup is indeed only half a cup, and the merchant also printed the happy words on the cup: ? ! "You want half a cup! Take it!" You asked for it. Or simply print: "half a cupper".
In fact, the half-cup doctrine is still easy to serve, and the most feared are those who are three-fifths, one-quarter, or seven-eighths. You have no idea how much he wants. In order to deal with these people with ambiguous appetites, someone finally figured out a "one size fits all" method, which is to say to those unpredictable people: "Say "when". "Say When -- That is: "When I get the amount you want, tell me." "As soon as this negotiation method came out, the "tensile atmosphere" between the coffee pourer and the coffee drinker was finally lifted.
This kind of small entertainment developed for pouring coffee
has become an important foreshadowing and turning point in the whole film in the movie "An Unexpected Life" Regarding Henry .
The film stars Harrison Ford as Henry, a complacent lawyer who was shot in a gangster robbery. Because the gunshot wound was close to the brain, he survived the disaster, but lost his memory and even changed his personality.
When Henry returned to work after his recovery, his secretary came to fill him coffee and habitually said to him, "Say 'when'! He lost even the memory of these coping formulas, and asked inexplicably, "What?" The secretary patiently said to him,
"When you think 'enough', just say yes . "
Back to the office after work, he found that" past Henry "turned out to be overcast fraud guy, designed to help Archduke
Division, University Hospital bully helpless little people, in moderation, it is not easy! After being "out of place" in the company for a while, I
finally decided that I couldn't do a cold-blooded lawyer job. Before leaving the company, he walked to his secretary's desk. He didn't say
"goodbye" or "bye bye." He said, "When."
This time it was the secretary's turn to understand. Henry explained, "I think" Enough", so "When" understood his
character after rebirth , and could no longer compromise with falsehood, greed, and ignorant conscience, the secretary gave him a hug from the heart,
and watched him leave with admiration and pity.
After saying "when", the new Henry finally broke off with the old Henry. Of course, it's in the play
Henry, the actual life of "Henry" is often confused on when to say When, we often play this "Heng
Li."
What kind of situation does it take to love someone to be "right love"? What is the point of hating someone to be "enough"? Sacrifice for the one you love, and to what extent should you sacrifice to not be called "cheap"? And to forgive people, we should forgive them to the depth of our hearts, so that we will not be regarded as "pustules"... In
our life, almost every moment, there are people around us who are making life choices for us. Coffee, and how many of us have the confidence, wisdom, and determination to say that "When" at the "right" moment?
Saying "When" requires not only wisdom, but also courage, because it includes saying "goodbye" to the familiar past and saying "hello" to the ignorant future. Farewell to the past bravely. In this respect, people are often inferior to grass and trees. One leaf of a tree knows autumn, and one flower brings spring. It seems to be carried out in a very smooth and natural situation. Because they have no distractions, they can concentrate fully on the plans of the master of the universe. It’s like a dedicated musician, paying close attention to every step of the conductor’s stick, picking up and down, and obediently playing a harmonious and perfect piece of music.
For the sake of "progress" and "a better tomorrow", people often unknowingly entangle themselves in a complicated cage and become a pitiful beast, trapped by money, lust, and the so-called "ideal". , "justice" and "responsibility" are bound up layer by layer.
However, it is not entirely impossible to get rid of all these bondages. When you feel "enough", you must know Say When.
