Yesterday I stopped at Starbucks for my favorite Venti green iced tea -- unsweetened. I love to get one on my way to work but I can't afford to get one everyday. I treated myself because someone had given me a Starbucks giftcard. I went through the drive-thru, placed my order and waited. I watched the woman ahead of me in a big grey Chrysler. Her excessively tanned arm had about 6 inches of gold bangle bracelets. I thought she looked kind of cheap and I smirked a little at her bad taste. Finally my turn at the window and I happily handed my giftcard to the server. She smiled and said "the woman ahead of you bought your iced tea." I said "did she know me?" "No, she just wanted to buy your drink and she gave us a big tip."
I felt really guilty about judging her bracelets so harshly.

I've heard about this happening at Starbucks! It's always a nice reaffirmation of the human condition, to know that random acts of kindness still take place.
