I met a good friend of mine for breakfast and outlet mall shopping last weekend and decided it was a great day to make someones day and pay-it-forward.
We were at a local restaurant out by the malls and a cute little old man came in and sat at the bar, by himself, and ordered breakfast. I thought that he was perfect to get some Holiday Cheer so I flagged down my server and asked her to put his meal on my bill, but not to tell him.
My friend was with me and she had a very confused look on her face and asked me what I was doing. I told her that I wanted to pay for the mans meal and explained to her my pay-it-forward journey and she thought that was pretty cool. I told her that she should try it as it had paid off with good karma, bit time for me!
I have no idea what the man’s reaction was or anything. Frankly that is not why I do it. We left before he was told his meal was paid for. It would have been nice to see it, but I don’t typically want anyone to know it’s me when they receive it. One thing I can be sure of is that the man felt happy and surprised…all good!
Anyway…I am off to do some more Holiday Cheer!
Happy Holidays!!!
