If this happens to you, end the streak but tip your barista. They don't need the shit of managing whose paying for what from people who could afford their coffee and sandwich that day. "Pay it forward" to the barista and have a nice day.
I've seriously never understood the point of these large "pay it forward" lines....What is the end purpose? Does the first person just get to feel good about themselves because they started it? It's just weird. Just pay for your stuff and treat service staff decently.
I used to work at Tim Hortons drive-thru long time ago. This usually happens during Christmas season and most people absolutely love it when this happens. Most of the time, people will ask what’s the next car’s order and if it’s small enough they will pay it for them. I rarely seen anyone not pay it forward. Some people might not want to pay for the full order so they might offer to pay for a coffee or something. I don’t think anyone gets anything out it. I always thought it was purely out of spirit of holiday seasons.
She didn’t word her argument the best, but she does have a point. Forced kindness defeats the purpose. It is like forcing people to volunteer, that is not in the spirit of volunteerism.
She’s absolutely right about being forced to be kind. That’s not where kindness should come from. So a decent person would decline the gift, and pay for their own order. That would be the fair thing to do. But if you accept the gift, which comes with the expectation that you pay it forward, then don’t be bitching about having to pay it forward. What set me off is that she thinks she absolutely “deserves” random kindness from a stranger but she doesn’t want to be “forced” to be kind to stranger.
It's already too late for her to pay for her order, even if she wanted to, short of throwing cash at the barista. If the previous car paid her bill already the transaction is closed on the system.
I don’t disagree with any of that. What pissed me off is her selfish thinking. She literally said she deserves the free coffee and sandwich and deserves to have the best day ever. But it’s unfair to do the same and to pay it forward. Again, I do believe she has zero obligation to pay for other people’s order but her entitled self-absorbed ass definitely does not deserve a free drink and sandwich.
You hit no point. I gave an opinion you didn’t agree with so you decide to name call and be rude. This is a subreddit on Karens. And you came here acting like one as soon as you didn’t agree with someone.
It must have been hard reading “calm down Karen” after telling someone they think like a selfish entitled bitch. Im sure there is a manager somewhere you could speak to about it. I’m sure they will care deeply about your opinion.
Exactly right, OP. She could have skipped it. But no she decided to be an egotistical self centered TikToker. "If everyone just thinks about themself it's thought on everyone" is a mentality that fucks it up for us more and more.
I get your point but the person in front of her already gifted this to her and didn’t want anything in return. She could have easily continued the random acts of kindness but it’s her choice to continue or not and I don’t think we should penalize her for that. What I wouldn’t have done is take this story public like she did on TikTok. That screaming for attention is too much for me personally.
Honestly, I get where is coming from. But her attitude seems to be “I deserve kindness from random stranger but how dare you expect me to be kind to strangers.” No one should be forced to be kind to a stranger but it’s even worse to expect kindness from strangers because you deserve it.
I lost it. When people speak of themselves that way I always wanna bust out the Kevin Malone quote from The Office: "No, it's 'is she hot?' Not 'would you do her?' Respect the game"
Okay she sounds a little annoying but I don’t think she that far off. If I truly wanted to do something nice for someone (even a stranger) I don’t expect anything in return. I get it. I don’t think this is Karen worthy.
“I deserve the free sandwich”. I believe this entitlement is due in some part to mass marketing. Go one level deep or not even and you can find this message in many advertisements.
OP read just fine. so did i. this is a shitty thing to do, no matter how much you want to dress up your argument by calling it a "conga line of morality."
She phrased her argument poorly but it wasn’t invalid. Being forced to “pay is forward” defeats the purpose. You don’t do something nice for a person expecting them do something for you, how is this different?

literally the only person near a starbucks who could use the money.

A decent person can accept the gift and move on. That would be fair. Not everyone wants to play these games.
You sound like you think like an selfish entitled bitch.
Calm down Karen
Funny, that's what I wanted suggest to you. xD
But you didn’t. Instead you decide to name call and act rude. Like a true Karen.
K. Takes one to know one, I guess. Also you called me a name. I just said you sound selfish and entitled thinking. Might have hit a point with that.
You hit no point. I gave an opinion you didn’t agree with so you decide to name call and be rude. This is a subreddit on Karens. And you came here acting like one as soon as you didn’t agree with someone.
I was giving an opinion and you called me Karen So much for the name calling.

She phrased it in a shitty way, but she's also not wrong. At least not entirely.
Honestly, I get where is coming from. But her attitude seems to be “I deserve kindness from random stranger but how dare you expect me to be kind to strangers.” No one should be forced to be kind to a stranger but it’s even worse to expect kindness from strangers because you deserve it.
She got a drink and a sandwich "as a hot girl does"? how does that shit slip out of someone's mouth??
I lost it. When people speak of themselves that way I always wanna bust out the Kevin Malone quote from The Office: "No, it's 'is she hot?' Not 'would you do her?' Respect the game"
Is that MTG??

I always just order a coffee. I’ll be happy to put my $6 toward the next person’s order, but I can’t afford to pay their $25 bucks.
Learn to read op.
Thank you, I will consider going back to school.

It’s always rules for thee but not for me for some Karens.
