And then the drink said, "Those have tri-layer insoles, you have good taste," and I was like, "Thanks again". And later my drink said, "Of all the soft premium leathers, I think goat suits you best- you look great" and it freaked me out so I asked why my drink keeps saying all these nice things, and they told me the drinks are complimentary.
