Some customers in Bluffton, South Carolina get random acts of kindness with their morning coffee. A wave of "pay it forward" began two years ago at The Corner Perk when a woman left an extra 100 dollar bill to cover the coffee lovers who followed her that day, and she insisted she remain anonymous. Word spread, and others wanted to make the same gesture--also leaving money to pay for customers that came in. The owner reports some people come in and leave money without even getting coffee.
"People will come in and say, 'What do you mean? I don't understand. Are you trying to buy me a coffee today?'" the shop's owner, Josh Cooke, told the local news. "And I say, 'No, somebody came in 30 minutes ago and left money to pay for drinks until it runs out.'"Bluffton is a small town of only 12,000 people. The generosity is deeply appreciated in economically tough times.
