I had a day off, so I went to Starbucks to get my wife a coffee and took it to her office. There was no space to park around the block where the cafe was. So I had to park next door and walked there. I got in line.

A lady in a local business work uniform was in front of me. This line was very long. We got about 5 people from the front, and suddenly the lady realized she left her shopping list in the car. She got out of line to get it. She got back at the end of the line. I called her back up to where we were and took her place at the end of the line. I told her I had a day off and didn’t have to be anywhere. And I had figured her coworkers were biting steel and chewing leather waiting for their coffee. So I walked to the back of the line. It’s no big deal.

When I got to the lady at the machine to order my wife's coffee, I was told that the lady had left cash to cover my coffee. It was the one that I exchanged turn with.
