Today was a Starbucks morning……I have been trying NOT to do as many of those lately (grins)…..but today, with teachers and students on spring break, but I am at work…….it just seemed like a necessity to jumpstart my morning.
So I pulled through the drivethrough (I know, how pathetic) and ordered my drink (White Chocolate Mocha, NonFat, Light Creme, 140 degrees) and the pastry (which totally cancels out the nonfat/light creme) and waited my turn in line.
When I got to the window, I was told that the person in the car before me had paid my bill. WOW, I had noticed the car but had not really paid attention to it…..but knew that I did NOT know the person in the car.
So — grins — I decided to pass it on, and I paid for the person behind me. And as I was driving out — one of the employees came out to my car and said that the person behind ME paid for the person behind HER. I also saw the car that was being driven by the person who had purchased my drink — so I was able to wave a “THANK YOU” too.
We might have started a ripple……..who knows? But it made this morning a bit more special. A Random Act of hmmmm “Starbucks”??
Smiles — so I urge you — do something unexpected today — and then come share about it.

That is so cool! What a great idea;)
Random act of Starbucks! Love it! It’s a great idea – you’ve encouraged me to go out of my way to do something nice for a stranger today!
Just as an add on — as I was telling my boss about this today — she led me to this site: http://www.pantagraph.com/arti.....510458.txt
Happened in December 2006.
What a nice way to pass on the happiness. It’s contagious. There are so many different ways we can add to other people’s happiness. Just your sharing the story made my day.
Very cool!
