The sad thing is, the man I saw do this was not a hobo.

There was an awkward exchange of glances. Though no words were spoken, the eye-conversation went like this…

Barista Eyes: “Should I leave it in there?”
Brad Eyes: “I’d rather have it back.”
Barista Eyes: “I can’t read your eyes very well. Do you have a soul?”
Brad Eyes: “Can I have my dollar now?”

She slowly removed the dollar from the jar. I wasn’t getting my hand anywhere near that jar. She handed it back and promptly left.

The ironic bit is that had she not been so clumsy to drop my dollar, she’d probably have deserved a dollar tip.

Just kidding. But I probably would have left it if she was hot. But she wasn’t.
