Topic: Starbucks .. pay forward

Heya ... Here in the Springs we have a tradition. When someone feels so inclined, as we all sit in line @ the Starbucks drivethru .. Someone kicks it off by not just paying for their coffee order, but they cover the car behind them. So ya .. I've been the recipient a few times, and always pay forward the car behind me. The other day I was able to start the process by being the one to pay it forward FIRST. It was such fun. I have no idea how many cars kept it up .. but hey, have you ever done that? If not, why not start next time you pull up to the Starbucks window? Pay for yours and then cover the order behind you

How do you know how much to pay for the car behind you? They haven't ordered yet...

they've had like record 30+ cars that will keep doing it .. ie, I pay for you, you pay for the next guy, they pay for the next one. The only one that pays double is the car that starts it .... It's a GREAT feeling
