green tea

since getting a starbuck's gift card for christmas, i've been frequenting their innumerable establishments a couple times a week to hunt jobs. usually, i go to the one on roscoe, but seeking a change of scenery and a walk, i decided to go to paulina instead. i ordered a medium green tea and received my beverage in an efficient and pleasant manner. (as i later told the survey, from which i hope to win 1,000 'bucks. now that i think of it, i hope this is 1,000 dollars and not indeed 1,000 starbucks drinks or 1,000 starbucks locations.) it was then that i realized that the fine barista on roscoe had been giving me large teas both times when i asked for mediums. perhaps, he also thinks it's ridiculous to pay $2.02 for hot water and two tea bags or maybe he's just extending a small generosity. his gesture isn't earth-shaking. in fact, had i not gone somewhere else i, most likely, would've never realized. so i wonder how often small, kind acts go unnoticed. maybe as much as the malicious ones go noticed?
