One good deed deserves another! A Starbucks' drive-through customer in Greensburg decided to spread the holiday cheer on Monday and opted to pay for the drink of the car behind him.

The good deed started a chain reaction that lasted about two hours, with each car paying for the next's drinks.

According to an employee, one person in the two-hour period broke the chain, but another person decided to pay the extra $6 to cover the expense and keep things moving.

Now what kind of a-hole broke the chain??? Who is that cheap? :eyes:

1. Somebody who doesn't like Christmas music, I'll bet.

Grinches!

2. How would they know the price ahead of time?

Unless all transactions were done with debit/credit cards

3. The drive thru computers would have the orders of all the

cars in the line, I guess. :shrug:

4. hmm, yeah

I didn't think it all the way through.

Someone's a cheap bastard, unless the person behind them ordered up 4 quadruple shot venti double this triple that mochas over tea with topping and nuts and gold sprinkles

5. The appropriate response to that would then be death.

That would break the chain, though, wouldn't it? Hmmm...
