So this whole "pay for the person behind you thing" at the drive thru sounds like a good idea, right?
Well, it's nice, and gives you a warm fuzzy feeling when the person in front of you pays for your morning coffee. But, what happens when it's your turn to pay for the person behind you and it ends up being a Soccer Mom in an 8 passenger Suburban, full of kids eating breakfast sandwiches. Then, your $.99 cup of joe just turned into you paying $29.99 and you helping to contribute to childhood obesity!
Maybe we should try this. Wait until you go inside to eat. Listen to the person ordering in front of you. That way you can hear what they are getting. If it's something that's not too crazy, then you can jump in and offer to pay. That way you are still doing something nice, but not breaking the bank?
Has anyone ever actually paid for you? I've done it for others before, but never had anyone buy me food. Do other people actually ever do this?
