You're not "supposed to" I guess. People just find that giving spirit contagious.

Except to my wife until yesterday apparently. She usually just says sweet and rolls out. Lesson learned that if you do that enough, you'll decide to pay for a car getting coffee for their office.

I refuse to use their retarded method of sizing drinks.

Try the new Chick-Fil-A vanilla Latte's. You can get a "large" just by saying that you want a large. It's fantastic

They are cheap, and you will only be expected to pay for the drink you order.

What's the point of pay it forward if nobody ever benefits? I fail to see the point.

He loaded up on free Starbucks so he could drive an hour back home and blog about Scooby Doo and Fat Shaming.

I've tried to understand this here at work. Coworker wants to go to lunch and says he will pay, then next time he expects me to pay. What the frick is the point except now having to figure out how much we owe each other. I'll just pay for my own shite.

Sounds like he was just tired of the whole thing because people did it for the wrong reasons

Though Schorsch didn't pay for the next customer at the drive-thru, he said he tipped the barista $100.


quote:

“I just don’t want to be forced into doing something,” said Schorsch, who is also a political consultant. “This is turning into a social phenomenon and I had to put an end to it.”

When baristas ask customers to pay for the next customer, some patrons simply oblige out of guilt, not generosity, he said.

“Although I can’t prove it, I think this has become an organic marketing ploy for Starbucks,” Schorsch said. “I love Starbucks. I have nothing against them. But this takes away the genuineness.”

Schorsch said some patrons are driving to this particular store after they heard about the pay it forward streak.

“This is turning into something ridiculous and cheesy,” Schorsch said.

“It just seems like a First World problem to me. Middle-class people sitting in their cars at a drive-thru, sipping a $5 drink and worrying about someone breaking the ranks,” Schorsch said.


I'm with him, similar to my opinion of the ice bucket challenge

except he only knew about it because of the news, and some other hamplanet killing one the day before.

Then this hamplanet drove a fricking hour to ruin this one.

I got a bigger problem for society, fat-boy.

You ever bought a round at the bar? It's about fostering a community of "I got ya."

It also weeds out the worthless fricks who won't reciprocate.

I had someone pay my toll on the causeway Wednesday and was really confused about what happened so didn't pay for someone behind me. Hope I didn't break some social contact
