Why Did I Refuse This Random Act of Kindness?

You made the right decision...at least for some reason it feels that way.

You made the right decision for you at that moment. It made you feel uncomfortable.

I would guess the young man had a gift card of sorts, probably was given it from his job. I am thinking he was trying to be nice and probably not too much into coffee. They do have gift cards and they do give them to the employees at times.

Don't feel badly. I just wonder why you left instead of just saying 'No thanks'? Did they make you feel uncomfortable? Was this a different location than you are used to? Did you feel slighted?

Again, you went with your gut and that is what you should always do. But, I just know that I have done things like that and so have my kids. I tried to give away Knotts Berry Farm tickets in front of KBF and people looked at me like I was crazy. I had received them free at the water park and didn't need all that I had. I think they did think they were being scammed.

A question: do gift cards expire in that state? Here in CA they don't so that wouldn't happen here.
