    Default Is Thank You Too Much

    So, I'm at my local (non Starbucks) coffee shop getting a chocolate malt because they are good with Bourbon. An Asian-American 20 something is ahead of me. She orders a hot chocolate. Barista hands it to her and she promptly starts swigging on it. CC is declined. She has/or isn't coughing up any money. She just stands there still swigging on the damn hot chocolate that she can't afford.

    I don't have all day to watch this play out, so I put a 20 on the counter and say take it out of that. Barista thanks me. I don't get a look, a thank you, a kiss my ass from the girl. WTF! Farking tourons!

    Luckily she was nowhere to be seen when I left.

    You enabled her entitlement. Why would she thank you?

    I'm willing to bet she was counting on someone paying for it, or the coffee shop employee to let her have it free. Either way, I personally wouldn't have done a thing for her.

    You didn't smack it out of her mouth and use the crisp twenty to wipe up the mess, then throwing the soiled twenty into the trash?

    With todays youth I bet she knew her CC would be declined and knew someone would step up and pay for it so she just waited... hence the immediately grabbing it and started drinking... ugh....

    I hope that the counter person remembers that customer. She should not even be allowed back in the store.

    She is a thief and it sounds premeditated.

    I think Pook got played.
    Modern liberalism is based on the idea that reality is obligated to conform to one's beliefs because; "I have the right to believe whatever I want".
