But isn't it awesome when something like that happens?! Someone comes out of nowhere to help you? (It happened to me before... I yelled "damn it!" and looked panicked because I couldn't find change. Another gentleman paid for my meter. I left a $5 starbucks card with a "Thank You" note on his windshield). It sucks, I've been there before… But isn't it awesome when something like that happens?!

When I got to the window, I paid for her order too, just because I felt so sorry for her. Never thought about it again until last year I was at a different chick-fil-a drive thru with a girlfriend and when we got to the the window, the man ahead of us had paid for BOTH of our orders. We weren't even having a bad day. It made my month! Couldn't believe it, as I learned that acting out of pity (like I did)is great, but acting out of kindness without regard to circumstance (like he did) was an even greater gift. Very thought provoking! several years ago I was in the drive thru at chick-fil-a and there was a woman behind me in line with a minivan full of screaming, fighting hell spawn, errr, I mean kids.
