That's a great tradition! From an economics perspective, I would gain way more than $2 worth of utility from discovering that someone had randomly paid for my coffee, it would really make my morning.
I wonder if the benefit would decrease if the practice became more common though. Would I start expecting my coffee to be free, and become disappointed when I had to pay for it?
