Drive-thru difference

Ive heard of that, but never done it. I want to do it and see what type of reaction I will get. I did pay for a toll for the person behind me once and I got honked at and thanked. It turned out he used the money to pay for the person behind him. Good topic.

i think this idea is a great one as it is showing kindness and if everyone showed kindness over the world we might still have wars but not have them escalate so much. There is a flaw however, if someone knew you were going to pay for their order then they could purposly order more then they need and then you could get angry towards them for order more then actually needed. So in trying to give kindness could be the root of anger and hatred.

both yes and no.first of all i would have to se if this thing is for real .i agree it is a nice concept and captures "share and share alike" very well.but the problem is that like all god intentions it may not work and fizzle out just when you go to that drive thru.anyway i will ahvet o see if it is indeed working and they i would defnitely like to participate! it is anice thing to share!love!LOL!!

It's kinda like "Pay it forward" or random acts of kindness. I think it's nice. Where I live sometimes the local police stop drivers who let a car into line or something like that and give them a free ticket for a car wash. I can't really do the drive through payment since for some reason I never, ever use the drive through window. I always park the car and go inside.

That would be way cool except for one thing ... imagine pulling up to the window to pay for your own order and to pay for the person's order behind you only to find out that the person's order was more money than you happened to have on you or that they ordered a large amount of food. That could be a bummer too but it's a nice gesture anyway.

This type of kindness is great! I support kindness in any form. I would not buy McDonalds for my worst enemy. Read Erich Schlosser's Fast Food Nation or watch the movie version and you will understand how these fast food chains are parasitic and cause huge damage to the health of consumers. Bev1986, these random acts of kindness can be performed anywhere, whether in a supermarket check out or at a restaurant where you pay someone elses bill...

I saw a TV commercial where the lady pulls through the drive-thru at the cleaners and after noticing that the guy in the car behind her is really cute,she pays for a few of his shirts and gives the lady her business card to pass onto the man. Cute!

I think this is a nice idea...but if I were to go to Mickey D's with my kids....you probably would ask how much our order was behind you and then say nevermind. LOL I have seven children. And trust me, that can be very costly. In turn, if I were to start it by paying for my own and then the person behind me...I honestly would not be able to afford it. What if they had a big order too? But I must say, if someone ahead of me paid for mine and the person behind me was only an order for one person, I would be getting a really good deal out of this! LOL

sounds goo ddbut what if you dont have the money to pay for next person your order might be $15 and their 25$

Great concept but I don't know if it would always work. I mean not everybody would know about it. I personally think random acts of kindness should be just that random. I was in Tim Horton's drive-thru one day and one of the other mothers from my daughters school was behind me. I didn't know her very well but when I came up to the window I paid for her order. But to me it has to be something you try to do every once in awhile otherwise you'd go broke. Believe me I wish I could win the millions cause I'd do that all the time. Another one that I've done is I was in one of the cheaper hair cutting places we have in Canada. I think it was First Choice. Haircuts are about 15.00. There was a man a few chairs away that was talking to the girl and he was quite loud. Now he was definitely mentally challenged and a bit slow. I hope I'm wording that to be politically correct. Anyways he was talking about his job and how he goes to the local mall and has to empty all the garbages and cleans the parking lot. Anyways the lottery that night was going to be high and the girl asked him if he was going to buy a ticket and he said yes I save my money so I can spend one dollar a week and buy a ticket. I could tell he doesn't make much money. Anyways I said to my hair stylist could you tell him his cut is paid for when he goes up to the register and when you are done with me I'll pay for both. She couldn't believe it. So they did just that. Well.... he was so excited and so grateful. It really made my day. So it cost me another 15.00 it was well worth it.

Oh this certainly is not right at all as some other curstomes would be buying more than you would, so I certainly do not agree if this concept was all over the world. You say you are going to do it next time you drive-thru well make sure you have plenty of money just incase, and it certainly would not be me.

Never heard of it, but its a really nice concept. I probably won't do it now, as i'm a kid and i don't quite have much money... but when i have a job i think i might, its just a nice thing to do.

What radio station is doing this? I'm in Grand Rapids. I.C. Jackson

sounds like a great idea. although kind of a unoringinal idea, i would still do it.

I think that is really neat, but I wouldn't want to have a person ahead of me feast out because someone else was paying for it. And, we have a great big family and I don't think that they would want to pay for ours. That is a great concept for the ones that can afford it! :D

I've heard of people doing that before but I haven't done it myself. I haven't ever had anyone pay for my stuff either. But I think I might try this next time we go through the drive thru.

This concept is not new. I have heard of people doing this on toll roads, paying for the person behind them. I don't know if it is a fad or if it will catch on.

Its called a random act of kindness and I would hope people do this sort of thing all over the world. I have paid for the person behind me before-- It is a great feeling.. I love to see their expression when the pull up to the window-- I'm always at the next window waiting for my food-- I have done this numerous of times.. Once even for a large family.. A mom with 3 kids in her car.. Her face lighting up was the best.. There are several things you can do-- I also like to leave high tips once in a while.. If the waitress was great and looks hurried, I will leave a big tip... Its a great feeling doing something nice for someone and expecting nothing in return.

Ok

Ahh "pay it forward" I think this is a great idea but come on how many people do you think honestly would do this?? I dont think alot of people are quite so nice anymore it is a nice idea.
