Why Did I Refuse This Random Act of Kindness?

(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?!
