Before it was all over, 160 customers took part.
Apparently a similar chain happened in Moline around the holidays as well. Some people in line even dropped $5 or $10 to pay for the next several drinks.
160 Ill. Starbucks customers 'pay it forward'
March 3, 2009 (MOLINE, Ill.) A customer used the drive through at a Starbucks in Moline over the weekend.
That person paid for his or her drink and the order of the person in the next car.
That started a chain reaction of people paying for the next customer's drinks.
