So, I'm sitting in Starbucks drinking my herbal tea (you can take the girl out of California but not California out of the girl) and doing reports. One of the Starbucks employees comes over to my table and says: we're breaking down the pastry case, if you want anything just go over and take it. I chuckle and say what? And he repeated I could take anything out of the pastry case. So I took a chocolate croissant, a piece of lemon cake and my favorite cookie (the peanut butter one with the chocolate inside). Other customers came and took what they wanted. The employee comes back over to my table and says: you know, if you don't take this stuff, I just have to throw it away. I said okay, when you when you say it like that, I'll just have some more. A cheese danish, a cranberry scone, a chocolate chunk cookie, a piece of banana bread, a brownie and a piece of chocolate cake go in my bag. Then at 9:45, the shift manager comes to my table and says: as soon as I count the last day to serve items, you can have some sandwiches and bagels if you want them. So, in my bag go 2 breakfast sandwiches and 2 Bagels, still in cellophane. Was this a great day or what?
I SCORED today

And I thought it was a major score when my favorite bakery gave me half a dozen salted caramel cupcakes because it was almost closing time. I bow to the expert

That's awesome ! What a haul. I love the lemon cakes too. I was at a FF shop last week eating and an employee walks by me carrying a milk shake. He walked around the restaurant and came by me again and asked if I wanted the milkshake. I gladly took it as it had oreo crumble.
Geeze, all of a sudden my free daily bagel in January at Panera seems like scraps! You were in the right place at the right time. 3333333333333

I don't like Starbucks coffee but I do love some of their pastries (especially the chocolate croissant). Lucky you!!! I hope you didn't gain too much weight after your score!!!

You've won the bagel lottery, too?

Kathy, yes! I prefer the coffee score I had in July one year though. You too?

I'm jealous, after having gone to SB every morning for 5 years, nothing, but a free coffee after 10 bought....you had a very lucky fun day.
Live consciously....
That sounds so incredibly wonderful! Good for you!! It sounds almost so unreal that it could be a chapter in the "Endless Fiction" thread...haha!! What a nice thing to have happen to you!!
Congrats on the haul!!!!
I still put avocado on everything. I had a half a one, in the peel, with some Tapatio, for lunch.

I got coffee one month, and bagels twice. Hubby and DIL have both received bagels.

The other day, going through the drive-thru, I ordered a chocolate croissant. I reached the window and they informed me that "today it's on the house". It caught me totally by surprise and there was no explanation. No complaints though.

I was doing a Tempur-Pedic mattress shop this morning and found out that this store was discontinuing the brand. They were offering VERY good prices on what was left. I've always wanted one, so I talked it over with hubby, and we went back and made a purchase (for a little less than half the retail price).

I did a shop this week on a place I've never been. I turned in my receipt for $68. Yup..they won't pay me the $68 but boy oh boy were their prices terrific!!!
