How about the ultimate donation of friendship and kindness. A barista offered her regular customer and friend her kidney. A kidney?!? She better get a really sweet ass tip for that one. Talk about generous. Can you imagine what it was like for the other people in line when this took place? I know if it had been my usual manhattan bucks, then the whole line would have groaned and said, "great, get a room and let me get my coffee!" I won't belittle the friendship of the customer and server relationship, but how did that even come up? Who tells their barista that they're just desperate for a kidney. Maybe, I've never had that friendly a barista or maybe I'm more private about my medical history, but I feel like in that 1 minute exhange of goods, my latest hospital trip doesn't usually come up! Well, good luck woman getting a new kidney. I hope you fill that tip charge to the brim every day after this!

Caffeinate The Children!
In case those schoolyard kids weren't jumpy enough. Starbucks has apparently decided to start paying attention to them too.
I like my kids extra hyper
When I was in grade school, the only thing I was going to see in the morning was a fresh glass of pulp free OJ, and then perhaps a frosty glass of milk in the evening. Just think of all that I missed out on then. Cheated of the joys of getting an iced coffee on my way to school. I could have started enjoying that thrill of when the ice goes just too much over the top that they need to use the fancy dome tops with extra space (or as I like to call it "living above the rim."). It's probably for the best. I mean consider the alternatives. If we keep children away from the coffee like alcohol, then a whole underground culture begins. You'd start having all the so called, "bad seeds," gather under the stair cases and sneak sips of a passion lemonade iced tea with 7 pumps of classic sugar sweetening, while they mock the nerds in the science labs that are savoring every sweet sip of venti chai latte with extra whip and a dash of cinnamon. The madness must be stopped before it begins. If I don't see every other kid this fall at the schoolyard replacing their traditional afternoon snacks with iced lemon loaf, then i think it may be too late to stop the downfall of society.
