Pay it forward Blue Springs!

by Jeff Quibell 6. July 2009 19:04

This morning a customer walked into the Steamin' Bean on north seven highway and said they wanted to pay for the next customer's order.  When asked what they wanted the next customer to be told, they simply replied that they should find an opportunity to pay it forward.  By lunch time over twenty customers had chosen to pay the kindness forward and this evening the generosity continues.  Some of the customer have been so generous that excess money is accumulating and owner Garin Bledsoe is looking to expand the idea beyond his coffee shop.  He believes that this is an opportunity for us all to help our neighbors and other local businesses improve our economy.  If you would like to participate in this local version of Pay it Forward simply call the Steamin' Bean at 220-2326.  Ask for Garin or Michelle and they will be happy to help you.

The Steamin' Bean is located at 1875 NW 7 Hwy in Blue Springs Missouri.

Adding to the above by Giles, not just Blue Springs, but to the surrounding towns. Pay It Forward would work greatly as a nation.

In a time when so many bad things are going on around us...so many problems with money...it's wonderful to see kindness and generousity still abound!

He's not helping his neighbors. He gave $40 of it to a coffee shop owner in Chicago.
