I tried the pay it forward thing twice at Starbucks. The first time was fine, the second time the person behind me had ordered like 5 drinks. The cashier at the window gave me the chance to back out but I already committed to it and didnt want to look like an asshole.  I probably wont do it again unless the person in front of me does.

My favorite act of charity is when you give money to people who can afford to pay $4 for a cup of coffee. |

Yeah, its sort of cool and I always wonder if the person behind keeps it going or not. Seeing as how this one made the news, I would guess not

That's what is crazy. Right? I mean, not one person had to spend more or the person behind them than what they planned to spend on themselves. Just a bunch of jerks, right? |

I do it for serverice people in uniform . One time the waitress asked me if I knew them ,said nope. She went over and told them they came and tanked me. I replied it was me who was doing the thanking. I make it a habit to approach anyone in military uniform and thank them for serice or a vet if they are wearing a device showing they are one. |

Just sayin' .... you may have been looking for the word 'apparel' for clothes and 'insignia' for, say, a purple heart they would almost certainly never show in public barring some peculiar circumstance. 'Device' would be like, say, a prosthetic or a heart monitor ... or a thermos-sized plaid vibrating dildo with Mohammed's face on it. |

I buy coffee for any Muslim women who can handle thermos-sized dildos. |
