Paying It Backwards Strikes Starbucks
Maybe it’s just a really good publicity stunt, but it seems that at at least one Starbucks (in Loveland, Colorado), the customers are paying it backwards, a concept that can frequently be found at toll booths.
But today’s tough times notwithstanding, it seems that the customers at a local Loveland Starbucks are passing the bucks at the drive-thru–by paying for the person’s order behind them.
According to 9NEWS.com, which interviewed one of the employees at the Starbucks in question, the phenomenon has been known to go through 15 cars.
It just goes to show that no gesture is too small, and even in hard times, people are trying to take care of each other however they can.
