I must give Brandon the credit for today's action. He gave me the idea to place an envelope with one dollar inside and tape it on the vending machine. I wrote on the outside "Open this envelope. This drink is on me. Please pay it forward." I am certain if I had thrown a dollar on the floor, it would have been quickly shoved in a pocket. The envelope remained there for several hours; although, many students read it. Perhaps they thought it was a trick that would be captured by the security cameras. Finally someone opened it and bought a drink. I had no idea that it would be that difficult to give a dollar away!
