why i could never work at starbucks/mcdonalds/other corporate giant

i would want to do that all the time! there isn't really a system of checks and balances in a place like that - the best they can hope for is an average! you can't take inventory of the coffee and accurately predict exactly how many cups of coffee will be produced by the amount of initial stock. so - it's just a general amount. i think i would decide it was my job to stick it to the man and give away at least one free cup a day.

but now you have to pay it forward! random acts of kindness can not go unrewarded :)
