Paid For Person Behind Me, Because They Deserved It
By a friend • January 5, 2026
It’s a rainy day and I have nothing to do so I decided I'd go to Starbucks and pay for the person behind me. I searched up Starbucks’s and decided to try a new one I haven’t been to yet because why not.
At the intersection right next to it the light turned green but this big truck ahead in the lane next to me wasn’t moving and I wondering why but as my lane moved forward I saw an old lady was slowly walking across the street and the truck wasn’t budging or honking till she made it across.
The same truck pulled into the drive thru behind me, and although the barista told me they had a mobile order when I asked to pay for them, I purchased a 10 gift card for them and asked that she give it to them.
I'm glad I chose the Starbucks I did and I'm glad so did the truck, they deserved it!
