no wallet. no money. free coffee


yesterday morning i hit up the dunkin donuts drive thru on my way in to work - i wanted coffee. bad. i wanted coffee so bad, i ordered an extra large. normally i just order a medium.

as i pulled up to the window i was reaching in to my purse to get my wallet. except, there was no wallet. i realized this conundrum before i even had to fish around inside my purse. i knew exactly where it was, too...

[ explanation of where my wallet was ] -------------------------------
the night before, i had gone to the gym. instead of lugging around my purse and my gym bag, i decided to just throw my wallet in my gym bag... gotta have my wallet. i can't do anything outside/away from the house without it. i just cant. and the same goes for my keys and my cell phone. 

yup. whenever i leave the house, whether on foot or driving somewhere, i always try to have my keys, wallet and cell phone. 

so i put my wallet in my gym bag and forgot that it was in there basically. and when i left the next morning for work, i left my wallet behind.
[ end explanation ] ------------------------------------------------------ 

when i arrived at the teller's window, i just apologized and said that i didn't have my wallet. i was expecting to just pull away with no coffee. but after i said i didn't have my wallet the teller turned around to his manager, who happened to be standing right there. he was looking for his manager to tell him what to do. 

i found this weird.

i was expecting to just drive away with no coffee and that they would just re-purpose my coffee for another sale - it's not like i had slurped my cooties all over it. perhaps they would just chuck it out and take the loss. whatever they decided to do was their business. i didn't have my wallet.

but the manager surprised me and the teller by saying it was on him. wha? on you? you mean, free? saweet! his only stipulation was that i come back the next day and purchase something. like a coffee - you know - with my own money, out of my wallet that should have been in my purse.

what a nice guy. made me smile for a bit... then i got to work. 

dang.
