Starbucks and a Funeral

Today was a sad, hard day. My boyfriend’s grandfather passed, his last male, family role model. Today was the funeral so I asked my boss if it was ok to turn in some vacation time and go. Of course, he said yes.

So I had a pretty sleepless night worrying about my boyfriend and, in general, the whole affair was pretty exhausting. I went to the funeral, then lunch, and then headed off to work. On the way back, knowing it would take an extra 15- 20 minutes, I stopped at Starbucks for a venti salted, caramel, soy mocha at 130 degrees as well as QuickTrip becasue my tire was low on air and needed its weekly refill.

Here is the question, do you think those extra non-funeral minutes are ethical since I did not originally ask for the extra time? Perhaps only the QuickTrip minutes are ok since it was needed…? However, I sort of felt like that deflated, saggy tire and Starbucks can make even the worst day a little brighter… I’ll leave it to you.
