Title: Pay it forward
Post by: Sir Patrick on 2013-09-27, 23:49:40: Just went though the McDonald's drive thru, and when I got to the window the lady told me the person in front if me paid for my order! Pretty nice thing. I'll do myself now to keep it going.

Excellent! Maybe I'll try to do this every once in a while.

I didnt even ask he just told the cashier he'd pay for me, as he was paying for someone else also.
From who did it I found it very surprising for he never seemed as that kind of person.
It's good to see good.

Nice gesture however.

How do they know what I plan on getting??

Order is already made at the drive-through before reaching the window, so it's just the next order on their list.

I've heard something similar about Starbucks. People order their coffee, and a second "suspended". When somebody homeless / can't pay for their coffee comes in, they ask if there are any "suspended" coffees or meals - which are the ones prepaid by other people who never know who they are buying it for.

It's a great gesture!
