AM I A HORRIBLE PERSON?

Transcript

Am I a horrible person? I just want Starbucks to get a pup cup for my super sweet little amazing baby. And I didn't want to drink from myself cuz I just got Tropical Smoothie Cafe. So I just asked, can I just get a pup cup please? And he's like, okay, yeah, just pull up to the window. And I pull up to the window and I'm kind of like, he didn't give me a price or anything. So I had my cash ready and when I get to the window, I go to hand it to him. He's like, oh no, they're free. And then like, I feel bad because I just ordered something for free and didn't buy anything. Like I feel like an idiot. Like I just ordered something for free and didn't buy anything. I don't know. I just I feel dumb. At least little baby Mickey's happy. But like I just I feel so dumb. I thought I thought it cost something to get a pup cup and it just didn't. I don't know. I just I feel dumb.
