    Paying It Backwards? A Christmas Chain of Charity

    BC-ODD--Coffee Charity,0161
    More than 1,000 Starbucks patrons treat next in line at Washington
    Starbucks store

    MARYSVILLE, Wash. (AP) - One woman's kindness to a fellow Starbucks patron resulted in more than a thousand others spreading the holiday-season generosity in this northwest Washington town.

    A regular patron at the chain had paid for the person in line behind her a few times before, according to The Everett Herald. But on Wednesday, her good deed set off a chain of 1,013 customers paying for the next person's drink.

    Many coffee shop patrons tacked on an extra $10 or $20, which shift manager Sarah Nix said Starbucks Corp. will donate to its ongoing holiday toy drive.

    The seemingly spontaneous pay-it-forward run ended at 6:20 a.m. Friday, a store employee said. The name of the iced-tea drinker who started it remains unknown.

    Who started it is unimportant. I want to know if they lynched the person who ended it?

    BTW, I don't drink coffee, but I'm a big fan of lynchings.

              If you order a child-sized hot chocolate, they only charge you $1 (at least that's what they do at the Starbucks near my house).
