Weird Guy at Coffee Bean Is Buying Drinks

Why didn't you stick around there to find out? Instead of boring us to death, here.

Because I didn't want to get shot dead, R1.

I certainly didn't set out to bore. Deepest apologies.

He's a caffiend.

Maybe he was trying to do one of those "pay it forward" things but is really not good with people.

OP I was just snarking on you to be a good R1. Your story is mildly unusual. I'm glad you escaped the Incel slaughter.

Obviously, he's trying to start a cult but is just really bad at recruiting.

I’m glad you grabbed your beverage and ran. Sounds fishy.

Money laundering!

It's customary to present hole in these types of situations.

He's luring the vagina, leave him be.

Did you at least leave a tip?

Will he pay for a Coffee Bean delivery? (I want to stay away from the potential gunfire.)

LMAO, he does that to get laid, but you were obviously not his type so he preferred not to look at you. You should've gone to Starbucks!

He wants to get in your pants

It wasn't just me! The barista said he'd been buying drinks for awhile. The guy was young and fat (and not dad bod fat or fit fat - which I like). Not my type at all.

But, yes, I should have presented anyway. Just to be polite. Live and learn.

R11, you better believed I tipped! I'm there all the time. They know me and know I tip well. That trend continued.

I actually just went back (it's right down from my house) for another coffee.

He's gone. No one got shot. Alas. I worried for nothing.

Admit it, you went back to PRESENT HOLE.

Speaking of incels, a flicker has been doing his mating call non-stop since 8 this morning. I’m desperate to find him a mate so he’ll STFU.

He better pen his manifesto soon before he gets the hose. I’ve had enough!

This is a coffee house thing.

I was told by the barista at the Starbucks drive-through that the customers were playing a round of "Pay It Forward," where you buy the order for the person behind you.

I joined in, but found it silly and pointless.

How does the person paying for the one behind him/her know how much to pay? The beneficiary may just want one a small plain coffee or may be buying coffee and pastries for a whole car full of people.

R19, In a drive through line the next order is usually taken before you get to the window, and if the staff is considerate they warn you. I hate the practice. It feels as organic as tip jars set out with change already in them. , i.e., they’re started by management.

OP left without snaring HIS MAN.

This was a test, and he let the multi millionaire slip through his fingers. And all because Mr. Right wasn’t making it easy for him!
