(A customer comes into our coffee shop and stares forlornly at the gum on display. She often comes into the shop to get some ice to chew on, but nothing else. Feeling sorry for her, I decide to help her out.)

Me: “Here, let me get that for you.”

(I reach into my tip jar and pay for the gum with my own money.)

Customer: *takes the gum* “So…where’s my change?!”

Me: *speechless*
