the eyerolling from all those waiting in line behind her was epic. then the worst thing happens..right before the lady was about to relinquish her spot at the register, she pauses and buys a $30 gift card...people moaned. i grinned,..wtf..i was next.
she gets the card and said, "here, use this card to buy everyone in line behind me coffee until it runs out"
i was blown away..i still got my own coffee, but the lady was pretty cool and made everyone behind me feel guilty for moaning out loud.
i took it as a lesson in patience..i need a refresher or two.

about 15 years ago, I was in Manhattan waiting in line for a few to get a bite to eat. i wasn't sure what I wanted and started to take two second to decide. The casher leans over and looked at the person behind me and said, next, how can I help you. Out in the wild west, people would have been bent to hell
Learn a lesson that day. Decide when its my turn.
