I stopped at Starbucks on my way to work this morning and when I got to the window, the barista said the person in front of me had paid $5 of my order. Apparently someone 5-6 cars before them had started the ball rolling by paying for the person behind them. The guy at the window said yesterday a similar thing happened and about 20 cars in a row ended up paying for the car behind them, until someone had a $25 order and then it finally stopped.
I think it's a really nice thing to do...I've had it happen around Christmas time, but it's nice to see at a "normal" time of year. $5 isn't a lot of money to spend on a stranger...and one person's small act of kindness ended up causing at least a half dozen strangers do something nice for each other...in addition to the coffee, it was a nice way to start the morning. :)
