Today, I took my granddaughter to deposit some money in her bank account and decided to buy myself a frappuccino at the nearby Starbucks. I realized I left my card at home, so my granddaughter graciously said she would take care of it. Our order came to 13.00 and when I tried to give Skylar's card to the woman helping us--she stated that the car in front of us paid for our order. She went on to say that people start a chain of giving--hoping it will continue down the line. Skylar paid for the car behind us to keep the chain going. It was a fun experience.

That's a nice one. Do you happen to know the owner of the car? Or are you able to thank the person ?

No, they were already gone by the time the woman told us.

Thanks wonderful! I’ve had that happen to me in line inside Starbucks and a few other places. The last one in line better start it the next time!

That is nice that your order was paid for and that she kept it going by paying for the car behind you.

Nice deal for that hot drink! How nice of the driver to do that! What a wonderful gesture.

There are plenty of good stories where a stranger out of the kindness of their heart pays for the meal of a person who is in the same line or eating at a restaurant as a way of sowing kind acts as a way of gaining some good karma down the line.
