Boomerang World

So, you know how you've heard that what you give, is what you will receive? You know... if you give out anger, that is what will come back at you? Well... I'm seeing it in action right in front of me.

So, I go to Starbucks and the guy ahead of me looks a bit down and out and I think he's wanting to get some looniees from the barista and he's paying her with quarters, dimes, nickels and pennies. She is impatient and angry with him and tells him that his array of coins do not add up to $4. Repeatedly. Eventually, she realizes that it is $4 and hastily pushes the 4 loonies at him, as he leaves saying thank you. She mutters to the barista next to her that they do not have time for this.

Now, it's about 20 minutes later, and the same barista is finding that their system is down and it's not accepting the cards with which people want to pay... and it's holding up the whole line-up... She put out impatience and guess what she's getting more of?? Funny how that works...
