				So the very next time I went into that Starbucks...
			 
			 
			
		
		
		
		(which would be this morning, a couple of Saturdays later) I order my usual tall nonfat decaf latte.  The barista realizes she's made it high octane.  Wait while I make you another, she says. 
 
"Oh, I'll just take the one you made.  It's not a big deal," I say.   
 
The barista offers to make me a decaf nonfat latte and give me the latte she already made - two lattes for the price of one. 
 
"No thanks," I say.  I don't need two lattes.  "I'll just take the one you already made.  It's not a big deal." 
 
Upshot:  the barista gave me a card for whatever my little heart desires next trip to Starbucks.  Who knew this being nice thing really works?!
