While the idea is thoughtful, workers have come forward to the 'pay it forward' trend can be a nightmare for them.
what they're getting into. They expected to pay however much on their coffee, not be hit with a free coffee and then the nagging thought that they should pay for the order behind them, something they don't know the price of and may be out of their budget.

'Sure, how much is it?' '$25' 'Sorry, I wasn't planning on spending that much today.'"goes viral, that's a lot of free advertising.
