378 People 'Pay It Forward' with Free Coffee at Florida Starbucks
A woman started an act of kindness chain that lasted for hours at a Starbucks drive-thru in Florida.
She ordered an iced coffee at about 7 a.m. Wednesday in St. Petersburg and asked to pay for the caramel macchiato for the stranger in the car behind her. He returned the favor. The chain kept going as employees began keeping count.
The Tampa Bay Times reports the chain finally ended around 6 p.m. when customer number 379 pulled up and ordered a regular coffee. Barista Vu Nguyen leaned out the window and explained the chain that started earlier in the day, asking if she'd like to participate. She declined, saying she only wanted to pay for her coffee.
Nguyen says he doesn't believe she understood the concept of paying it forward.
买单不用自己花钱，而是让排在前面的一位顾客掏腰包，相信许多人都会对此大感惊讶。然而，这一幕却真实发生在美国一家星巴克（Starbucks）店门前，近400人体验了这一神奇的购买方式，共持续了11个小时。
当地时间8月20日早上7点，在美国佛罗里达州圣彼得斯堡（St. Petersburg）一家星巴克汽车外卖窗口前，一名60多岁的大妈突然决定为下一位顾客购买的焦糖玛奇朵（caramel macchiato）饮品付账。这位顾客随即决定效仿大妈的善举，遂为后面一位顾客结了账。这种“多米诺骨牌”效应就此传开，一个接一个地为后面的顾客买单，共有378人参与了进来，全程持续了11个小时。直到下午6点，一名妇女因不知情，才打破了该接力游戏。
顾客们对这种“爱心接力”购买咖啡的方式赞不绝口。一位名为莱克西·凯恩（Lexie Kane）的顾客说：“我觉得这种方式能让你一整天都心情舒畅。”另有一位名为露西·伯恩赛德（Bornside）的顾客还在当天排了两次队，她表示：“不经意间对陌生人行善的感觉很棒。”
据该店经理称，这并不是他们首次遇到此情景。据悉，在这家店，此前以这种方式为顾客买单的记录曾达到141人。
