My first time ever going to Starbucks. I do drink coffee, but I either drink what we have here at home, or I drink it at work. I have never gone into a coffee shop to order anything to drink in the past.
My wife has gotten something for me from there before ... but again, I've never gone there myself.
So this morning I'm on my way to wash my truck and I get a text from my wife asking if I can get her a coffee from Starbucks because we are out of coffee for the Keurig here at home. I reply and let her know it wouldn't be a problem.
On my home from washing my truck, I cruise by one of the million Starbucks in my city. Lol. Line is way, way to long for me to sit in and head home. I drop my truck off and jump in the wifes car to head over to another one down the street.
Upon arriving, line isn't long at all for the drive thru so I enter. Fruity guy over the intercom asks my order, and I tell it what I want. As I pull up to the window, I start to hand the cashier the cash for the coffee. She proceeds to tell me that the lady that was in front of me paid for my drink. "No shit?" I ask her. She says "yes, she paid for it". I said "Wow, that was very nice of her to do ... unnecessary, but very nice nonetheless ".
She hands me the drink and says "have a nice day sir" ... I say "thank you, you too". As I'm driving away I'm thinking about the nice gesture the lady did and that good karma will come back to her.
I get home and give my wife her coffee. I tell her the story of how the lady in front of me was so nice to pay for my drink.
She says "did you pay for the person behind you?" Confused, I say no. She starts laughing and tells me how Starbucks has a thing about a pay chain going on. I'm like "WTF are you serious? ... how was I supposed to know ... I've never been there before ... I thought someone was just being nice" lol.
That was how my morning started.
