moral of the story: you should always appear as poor as possible at starbucks

the other night, jack and i went to starbucks. we had both been spending plenty of money lately so i offered to dig into my stash of nickels and dimes. we counted out $3 in change for each of us. (we had originally planned on going to the coffee shop on campus, but it was unexpectedly closed - $3 would have been plenty for drinks there) upon arrival, we asked the lady waiting on us how much different drinks were with tax, while mumbling to each other if we had enough or not. after a few iterations of this, she decided to let us use her employee discount. jack ordered a tall mocha frappe and i got a tall double chocolate-chip cappuccino. we still had over a $1 left over! when we received the drinks, she had given us grande's instead because they made extra!

i'm thinking her generousity stems from the fact that we looked like two poor college students who desparately needed some caffine. good thing she doesn't know i typically pay by credit card. :)
