The government shutdown is forcing many acts and deeds to rise to the surface. Some wonderful and some, just dumb. (Like ticketing people who are found in closed parks.) But mostly, the politicians forcing this on to our economy continue to get paid, or receive back pay when all is said and done.
But Starbucks is taking it a step further today, Wednesday, 10-9-13, to this Friday, 10-11-13.
They call it PayitForward.
It's about helping everyone else out, and so doing, actually seeing a reward for that deed.
As they put it,
"If you come into Starbucks and buy someone else their favorite beverage, we’ll give you a free tall brewed coffee."
It's a statement for everyone involved. Starbucks wins and so do we.
Thought you'd like to know.

(Oh, and about this shutdown? I'm taking names and making sure that who ever was party to this bull*t is someone I NEVER EVER vote for ever again. But that's just me and how I roll. And that rolling includes never forgetting when I've been slighted by someone.)
