The video of a customer buying coffee from a vendor in Nanjing went viral. The elderly owner can be seen opening three packages of instant coffee and dissolving them in a cup.
The key question is why such an ordinary story went viral. One could argue that netizens often exhibit herd behavior, indiscriminately chasing after the latest trends.
Meanwhile, many consumers genuinely find the owner endearing, and endorse her sincerity and integrity.
