My inspiration for this post came from my dear, longtime blogging friend, Debbie @ Musings by an ND Domer's Mom, who is not only a gifted...
About four years ago, I shared a post with you confessing how I would swipe a stack of napkins from Starbucks whenever I made a purchase from one of their cafes.
And I’m not talking about 5 or 6 napkins, no, I’m talking a STACK of 10 to 15.
Well guess what?
I’m still doing it.
However back then I called it STEALING, now I call it KIDNAPKINING.
And considering how many times a week I patronize Starbucks, I haven’t had to purchase a napkin in over FOUR years. I’ve got so many napkins stocked up that I could sew them all together and make a quilt the size of China!
But I truly don’t feel the slightest bit guilty about this, and do you know why? Because if you add up all the cups of coffee I purchased from Starbucks over the past four years, it comes to a grand total of $36,383.20.
*And that's not even including all the baked goods I've purchased.
So do you know what?
I consider my napkins a GIFT WITH PURCHASE.
And the funny thing about this is that I now have other people kidnapping napkins for me whenever they go into a Starbucks too. Yes, I've become a napkin PIMP.
Like yesterday.
I went into Starbucks during my break at work with three of my fellow-employees, and as we were leaving the café they each handed me a stack of napkins and said, “Here you go Ron, add these to your collection.”
I replied, “Listen, could you also go into the restroom and grab a few rolls of toilet paper for me, because I’m getting kinda low.”
So remember everyone, if you ever find yourself kidnapkining from Starbucks, don’t feel guilty because it’s a well-deserved...
Have a grrrrrrreat Monday!
