Last night me and some friends decided to go out for a nice cup of coffee. We landed on a nearby local fast food restaurant and ordered 3 cups. Soon after hearing the order, the waiter replied "You cant sit here, you're not gonna get any coffee here", quite baffled we asked, then where should we sit to have coffee. He replied "Barabar mein". The shop next to it was a division of the same shop for people having ice-cream. we moved to the other portion making fun of the 'Rule' and guess what we are greeted with when we entered. Translation of Picture Text: "Sitting for more than 10 minutes is not allowed" :)
