Pay It Forward

[Bourn]

Went threw a drive-thru today and when I drove up to the window to pay and get my food 3 employees were standing there looking at me smiling. I was like what's going on here? They said the guy in front of me paid for my food. I said why? Lol. I'll pay it forward and pay for someone else in a drive-thru next time I go. Pretty cool.

Normally they are trying to start a chain and you pay for the car behind you and so on

Meaning, You should have done it Today while you were there

I was once in one of those chains, thought it was very cool to do. Not sure how long it lasted, but the cashier said it had started 15 minutes before me.

No one was behind me or I would have.

What if you got a 99c coffee and the guy behind you buys a fucking truckload of food for his 17 kids?

Naw man, fuck this noise. I will pay for what I ordered.

How do you know that?

One could potentially scam this system. Go to a drive through with a buddy in another car. Get in the drive through lane, and let a car get in between you.

First car pays it forward for the stranger behind you. Then if he repays the favor, 3rd car order a shitload of food and not pay it forward.

Never heard of this in New York.....Yeah what if my order is $8.00 and the car behind me is $35.00.....Fuck that I`m out!

Seen it in my side mirror she reached out to pay and the lady didn't take it and she pulled up

Never heard of this in New York.....Yeah what if my order is $8.00 and the car behind me is $35.00.....Fuck that I`m out!

Then you just pay your $8 and let it continue or just hand them a 5 and say put that on the next guys tab

But the scammers get scammed if you are the one in the middle

So the best game theory move is just never pay it forward. Take it but don't return the favor.

Yeah and you could eliminate all risk of paying for a shitload of food you didn't want to pay for yourself. If the car In front of you didn't pay for the shitload of food just tell them you forgot your wallet. Sorry

No you don't stop it if your order is 3.85 just give them what you want to put on the next order not worth the bad karma for a few bucks
