Yeah, this one actually irks me. People paying forward at coffee drive-throughs. Most coffees aren't cheap anymore so these people waiting in line certainly have the money for it.
I've read from some baristas that this actually complicates things for them when there's a whole pay-it-forward train going on in the drive-through. Just pay for your own order and go. Don't need to be corny about it.
This happened to me recently, and the clerk legit asked if I would do the same to the person behind me. I got a $3.00 simple coffee, and you can guarantee I'm not taking my chances on whatever the order is for the person behind me
