Thank You For Your Coffee Service from NotAlwaysRight:
My dad is a former Marine and raised me to always be respectful and grateful to the people who serve our country. I am twenty-three, and I have a slew of medical conditions that prevent me from serving in the military, so I am extra grateful to the people who serve.
I am at a gas station getting my morning coffee, and two girls about my age walk in wearing Army uniforms. They get their coffee and a few snacks and go to check out.
Me: Stepping over to the register “Whatever they are getting is on me.”
Army Girl #1: “Oh, ma’am, that’s okay.”
Army Girl #2: “Yeah, you don’t need to do that.”
Me: “Ladies, if I tried to apply to the military, I would get laughed out of the admissions office as soon as they saw my medical records. I can’t serve, so the least I can do is buy your coffee.”
They relent, thank me, take their things, and leave. I put my coffee on the counter to add to the total.

Cashier: “And your coffee is on me. No debate.”
I relent and pay for the total.
Cashier: “See you tomorrow!”
