Alex, that sounds how an experienced person may approach this.
I did catch that Helen was concerned that perhaps her husband had helped this person in some form at some time. Why that would seem wrong, I don't know, but, a persons reasons are their own {LOL, I almost said 'They are what they are...' but I recall GC starting a thread about that....
}.
Again, I don't think Helen did anything wrong, we are all allowed to do what we feel the need to do. But, I think it is interesting trying to figure it out.
Like, the kid, perhaps he just got a raise or something and felt generous? Like a Starbucks 'bigwig'? Or, maybe, he quit his job and this was his way of screwing the company, 'Ha! I'm giving your coffee away!!!'
And yes, I did just drink a cup of coffee and my mind is racing all over...
