Big controversy about this lady that put an end to the pay-a-forward thing that was going on.

Okay, you mean like in a drive-to? Yeah, was that Starbucks drive-through?

I thought this was interesting because she said so she's like the fifth one.

They're like hey, it was paid for by the person in front of you. Which I think is great.

Yes. You're the first person to do that especially. I love that. I think it makes a big impact.

But she's like, oh, well, Tom, thanks.

Yeah, but you're the fifth one. So you want to do you want to pay? No.

She just took that and said that defeats the purpose if I'm coerced into giving for the next person.

How about I just be really thankful that the last person paid for my thing? That was really kind of then.

I can't disagree with that. It loses something if it feels like if I'm being forced.

Yeah, all the Starbucks people have their heads out the window expecting you to pay for the next person.

And there is something about being a thankful receiver. She stressed that.

I really appreciate this. Totally made my day.

So say because we're to talk about this cutting off a forward thing and understanding it.

Yes. You're a gift giver. I am a gift giver and there's something wonderful about someone who receives the gift.

Graciously, they're grateful and I don't have to. Well, no, you shouldn't have. I can't accept this. I can't.

That's just why we had a symbiotic friendship because I am perfectly suited for that.

You are. I accept really, really, immediately. And grateful.

And even a little like I deserve this. I think that helps.

But no, I really do. You do. And I appreciate it. I love thinking through what to give someone.
