Making Someones Day Is Too Easy

By Mark • January 24, 2012

Earlier this week, I was eating lunch with a friend and saw an elderly couple having lunch a few tables away.  They looked so happy and it gave me hope about future relationships and I got this great idea to make a difference.

I asked the server what their check was up to and since it was under $20, I went and paid for it. I did not want them to know while I was there, so I left soon after.  I felt amazing all day long, just thinking about how that might have made them feel when the server told them complete strangers paid their bill.

I hope more people will do the same, it was worth every penny!
