You know that you drink too much coffee when...

Last week I stopped at Starbucks on my way to work for my usual non-fat vanilla latte. After placing my order at the drive thru I pulled forward and waited in line behind several other cars. As I reached for my purse I discovered that I had forgotten it at home. As I pulled up to the window I explained to the young woman that I had forgotten my purse. She simply smiled and said, just pay us tomorrow morning when you come through. Wow, maybe I do drink too much coffee.
