Coffee Genie Reneges On Promise

A man who was given a never ending cup of coffee in a famous coffee outlet has expressed surprise his mug is now empty. The man was presented with the cup by a genie, who appeared at his table and claimed the magic beaker would produce, at will, any coffee based beverage he so desired, for eternity, for free.

But today, the second day of this wizardry, it seems the cup remained stubbornly empty. “I sat there for three hours, staring into the cup” said the man “but no coffee appeared. Waiters came and went offering me help, but they were declined and slowly the offers subsided. But still the cup remains empty”.

The man has, for many years, desired such a eternal self-replenishing caffiene container, and has done everything from researching designs to offering his wife to Satan, all with no bean based relief.

The man has not been satisfied with responses for law enforcement, and has takent he genie to a small claims court. “It’s ridiculous that ethereal beings from the netherworld can make a verbal contract and fail to meet their end of the bargain”. As yet, the genie has not replied to either the man or Headline Edition’s request for comment.

When put to the man it would be simpler just to buy a coffee as opposed to relying on Supernatural undertakings, he simply said “I’m not paying those prices”.
