A kindness, and a dilemma
RebeccainGA:
I frequently buy myself breakfast on the way to work - a quick biscuit at one of the five or six places I pass in the morning is quick, inexpensive, and a nice treat to start my morning (I am SO not a morning person). I went through Hardee's this morning, and when I got to the window, I was told that the lady in front of me had paid for my meal. This was, of course, a very kind gesture, and normally I would offer to pay for the person behind me - but I was the last one in the line, and it being still quite early, there was no telling when someone else would come through.
I was left with a dilemma, and although I simply thanked the person at the window and moved on, I wasn't quite sure what I should have done. Did I do the right thing?

Next time you have the chance, pay it forward. Just because you couldn't right then, doesn't mean you couldn't on some other day.

Ive heard of this before, but I have always wondered...how do you pay for someone behind you when you don't know their total?

That was sort of what I figured - probably tomorrow, if there is someone behind me (some days there is, some days there's not - I leave for work pretty early!).

The total's probably already in the computer ...
