Ok, so Angie and I took our walk with the dogs to Starbucks this morning, like we do many mornings when we aren't at work. Angie brought 2 Starbucks cards, one we re-load and register so she can get free soy milk and one card that was a gift from one of her students.
As we were drinking our coffee/tea she mentioned that she maxed out our regular card and needed to re-load it and that there was $3.65 left on the gift card.
Now we have "newspaper hawkers" on our busy corners in the morning, guys and gals trying to stay clean and sober. Other than I worry about their safety I have no problem with these folks selling newspapers....I never buy, as I get both papers they sell delivered to my home....but I do throw them a buck or two on occasion. We all exchanged Merry Christmas with each other as we headed up to Starbucks.
Well, on our way home, right before we crossed at the corner, Angie walks over to one of the "hawkers" and gives him her gift card with $3.65 on it....I asked her "What did you do?"...she told me and I asked if she told him it was a USED card?...she said oops! and hollered "it only has $3.65 left on it"...he hollers back..."Thanks, that's enough for a coffee mocha".....
As we crossed the street I gave her a hard time
...
"I can't believe you just re-gifted a Starbucks card"...."you didn't really give that guy a half used gift card"...."what next dear, are we going to drop by and give him the 1/2 sandwich you are going to have left from lunch today when we go to the deli?"....
We got a kick out of all this...
I told her she was damn rude....
She said she wasn't...
What do you think?
