Why Did I Refuse This Random Act of Kindness?

[Snowflake]

I happened to read the starbucks cup today, they've got a "promotion" called Pass the Cheer. Offer to buy the drink of the person behind you. Or the retelling of a story, to inspire cheer and paying it forward, or backwards.

Wonder if this is what the college student was all about?

Starbucks Iconic Red Cups Turn Ten
Nothing signals the arrival of the holidays more than coffee drinkers sipping from the Starbucks red cup. Celebrating its 10th holiday this year, this seasonal classic will feature “cheer stories” inspired by the wonderful spirit of Starbucks customers. One featured story recounts the tale of a Starbucks Drive-Thru in California where a customer spontaneously decided to pay for the drink for the person behind him. That delighted person was in turn inspired to pay for the drink for the person behind her, who then acted in kind, inspiring a chain reaction of cheer-passing that lasted for many more cars in line. And what better source for inspiration than Starbucks® legendary holiday beverages.
