It all started at Pacific's softball doubleheader in the afternoon. My friend Michelle and our former HS teacher (and current mayor of Dublin, CA!) came out to Stockton for the games since one of our friends is Princeton's assistant coach.
In between games, Michelle and I left to the University Center in search of food. Oh, also I took little Woodstock along for the day outside :) well I couldn't go in the dining area with the puppy and opted to wait outside instead. A couple of sorority girls ran up and awwwwwed while petting him and slathering on the attention. Michelle then stepped outside to ask what kind of drink I wanted from Starbucks, before the two girls insisted on purchasing my beverage. I wasn't one to deny them of that experience. Bringing out my iced chai, they thanked me for letting them play with Woodstock.
"Sure," I smiled, unsure of how playing with a puppy for 10 minutes warranted a free drink...
Then later in the night a bunch of us made it out to an Irish (dive) pub in the evening. It was sooo busy a regular (who looked like Zach Galifianakis) told me to step up to the bar. After 10 mins he informed me his friend was the bartender and if I told him my drink orders, he'd get them for me. What he failed to mention was that he told his friend to add it to the tab... I didn't complain, especially because I'd requested beers for my boyfriend and one of our friends as well!
Even more recently, I scored a free dinner at Chevy's! Working the NCAA women's basketball regional last week, a group of us opted for margs and Mexican food so we went to the Chevy's on the river in Sacramento. Long story short, my dinner was forgotten. Even though I had my food 15 mins after everyone else, mine was comped on the house.
Love free stuff!

Woodstock is so adorable, if I didn't know you I would def buy you a drink for letting me play with the little guy! I love when strangers do nice things - it is refreshing!
