The Extra Cake Is Not A Lie

Me: “One chocolate cake pop, please.”

Cashier: “All right, let me just— Oh!”

(One of her coworkers is already getting the cake pop for me.)

Coworker: “Only one?”

Me: “Yeah, just the one.”

Coworker: “You get a discount when you get two!”

Me: “I know, but if I got two, then no one else might be able to try them!”

Cashier: “That’ll be $1.75.”

(I pay for the cake pop and notice the bag seems a little more full than it should be. When I look inside, there’s two chocolate cake pops! I smile and fish out a couple of singles to leave in the tip jar.)

Me: *smiling at the coworker* “And this is for you!”

Coworker: “Aww, man! I thought I was being clever.”

(It was a small thing, but I really appreciated it after my after-school job! Even popular coffee chains can have golden employees.)
