You can’t buy free coffee.
I stopped into a local coffee place a couple weeks ago and I knew the cashier.
I don’t know him particularity well but he’s a drummer, so we talked drums and bass and bands for a few minutes (it was mid-morning so the rush was over and there wasn’t a line behind me) and then I ordered my coffee.
He handed it to me and said don’t worry about the $2.50
Getting free coffee is awesome.
The truth is I have $2.50 to spare, but even all the money in the world can’t buy free coffee.
Free coffee takes connection. Coffee takes money. Free coffee takes connection.
If I’m getting free coffee, life is going well…And I felt like a million bucks walking out of there. When I can walk into a public establishment, order something and the person working says ‘Nah, don’t worry about the money part’…things are happening.
May we all be willing to be the type of people who give and receive ‘free coffee’…giving and receiving the things money can’t buy.
