At the Starbucks on 116th Street NE in Marysville, a chain of more than 350 people bought coffee for the people in line behind them -- either in the drive-through or inside -- starting with a woman who first came in about 8 a.m.

Dude, that's pretty freaking awesome! I wish people did that where I work! I have so many people come in with gift cards that we can't use and it would be nice if the person in front or behind helped them out. Ah... oh nice people why can't you live in Florida too?!

I think most of the people in Florida are pricks. Thats why none of that cool stuff happens. Everyone's too busy being on vacation and shopping to worry about the actually natives. Its the tourists I tell you!

Reminds of my passtime when I'm not broke,,, When I'm out for coffee and a bum asks for a small donation,, I drag him along to the coffee bar I'm headed to and buy him a coffee,,, half of the centres regular bums now consider me their friend,, and always start a conversation with me... it's fun

Oh wow! That's great! I think my brother befriended a bum or two...Oo; Not me, though. I just dressed up like one for career day once. I always thought it might be nice to get a Big Mac for one.
