it's so awesome when I'm working at Starbucks, and suddenly a line of cars pull up and they all pay for the person behind them... Even more so when one customer pays for EVERYONE'S orders. now that's paying it all around. Not an "unexplainable phenomena", just shows there are some kind people in this world. :)

I couldn't agree more with you. A blog I read brought me here.

@Manaspoon None, because then the store would be short, and that said person would be fired. It would take a complete a**hole to do something like that.

I love it!

I think this should be done with meals. Start with skipping just one today , then donating the money or actual food to your local foodbank.

This isn't paying it forward, paying for the person behind you when the person in front paid for yours. That's passing it down the line.

@karmadrug It's not about the money, it's about altruism. Sure, maybe the rush of dopamine we get after doing something for someone else makes the act less than selfless, but who couldn't use a good feeling once in awhile. And I did buy a bag of chips for a homeless person the other day. I would have gotten him the sandwich he asked for but I only had 4 dollars. The fact I requested he try to keep warm seem to cheer him more than the chips. Love is all you need-its all that and a bag of chips.

This happened to me at Safeway, although it wasn't the person in front -- I forgot my bankcard and didn't realise till I went to pay and the guy behind me just pulled out his credit card. It was incredibly kind, this was over $100 worth of groceries.

How many people do you think working at the drive-thru just took the money for themselves?

I think it's really awesome, esp with the way things in the world are going today, like the guy in the video said. And no, I don't think it's a marketing campaign for Starbucks, either. It happened to me at a McDonald's where I live. A lady ahead of me had paid for my meal. I almost didn't believe it at first, I thought the girl at the window was messing with me. Luckily I got to pay it forward at a Starbucks when the same thing happened again.

I did this 2 or 3 weeks ago. There was an older woman at McDonald's by herself, wearing sweatpants with a couple small holes. Maybe she was doing yard work that day. I wrote Pay It Forward on my receipt and set it on her table with a 20, on my way out. It made me feel good almost all day, and I don't have a lot of good days.
