Unfiltered Story #18650
(It’s Friday at 17:30. I just had a really, REALLY bad week at work, and I’m crying on the way home. I decide to get myself a cup of something from the local coffeeshop, to treat myself for the evening. I have been to this coffeeshop exactly once since it opened, and I completely blow past the drive through speaker, distracted and forgetting where it was. I wind up at the window. Luckily no other cars are in the drive-through.)
Me: (still trying to stop crying) I totally just drove past the speaker, I am so sorry, I had a really, really bad week.
Employee: That’s okay, what can I get you?
(I order, and the guy takes a few minutes with my order while I’m sniffling and blowing my nose. He finally comes back.)
Employee: Here you go, you have a good night!
Me: But, I didn’t pay…
Employee: That’s okay! This is on the house. We hope you have a great weekend, okay?
Me: Thank you! Thank you so much! Here, this is a tip for you guys. Thanks so much.
(Thank you, coffeeshop, for making my weekend SO much better!)
