I head to starbucks this morning, 50 stars in tow, about to get this free coffee, and it's a black woman standing at the door. I head in and she's like "Excuse me do you smoke cigarettes?". No ma'am, sorry. Order my coffee, chit chat with the barista homies and here she comes again "You think you can give me a ride? I only live down Belair Rd" Belair rd stretches from Baltimore city, into the county and crosses into a new county eventually.
I tell her I can't and check my pockets...of course I'm broke, but also frustrated because leave me alone in the morning on free coffee day. I dip off to the ATM across the street, take out $20, pull back up to the Starbucks like SWAT, hand her the money like "Here, please go do what you need to do today".
Her: OMG!! You gotta give me a hug, I had my COVID shot.
Me: I didn't. I have to go, have a good day .
