There are always going to be those mainstream coffee spots in every city where folks intrinsically gather for treats and fellowship. Mr. Rupert’s Cafe had been a prominent fixture for several years as it was known for its spectacular coffee.
Mr. Rupert’s Cafe was tucked away in a busy corner of the town’s square. What began as a small food truck business eventually became the buzz of the city. After his father’s passing, Mr. Rupert came into possession of his father’s business, which had meant a great deal to many local residents over the years.

As the years passed, Mr. Rupert started to lose the sense of compassion and delight he once took in helping people who would come into his coffee shop. Those feelings were replaced with arrogance and privilege as he began to look down on those he deemed beneath him.
After some renovations to the coffee shop were completed, Mr. Rupert was standing behind the counter one day when an unhoused man walked in. The cafe proprietor glared at the man and swallowed as he prepared to turn down whatever his upcoming request was going to be.
All the man asked for was some leftover food that the coffee shop was likely going to throw out at the end of the day. Mr. Rupert gave him a solid refusal, and when the impoverished man told him that he hadn’t had anything to eat in days, Mr. Rupert started to gather a few items, then promptly threw them in the garbage right in front of the man.
