Wasn't Mildred the name of Arnold Schwarzenegger's baby mama? His son looks so much like him ...

Does she kind of make it feel like she maybe feels like she may be able to take advantage of your niceness?
Do you like any of these responses for next time she whips out the survey?
- They can probably tell when it's the same person filling out the surveys again and again, so probably someone else will have to start doing the surveys from now on, since have filled out so many already! Here's a tip - thank you for the coffee!
- It's such a great way to get a free donut - surely there will be other customers who like donuts who would love to fill out the surveys for the free goodies - good luck Mildred!
- Was trying really hard to fill out surveys when I had the time, but work's really picked up lately, so please enjoy this tip instead.
Or are those really tone-deaf and b***** replies?

You also get some sort of freebie yourself when filling out surveys.
It's a win win for everyone.
Actually hardly ever get coffee at the store, so am not asked to take surveys very often at all. Since the survey requests are so rare, will have to make a point to fill them out more often - had no idea they could mean so much to people who put in long hours and don't get paid very much. Guess sometimes there may be freebies as well - does Starbucks have a survey with a free giveaway as well?
Guess it would be very different if was actually a regular at a store though! Interesting thread Josie - gl!
