In line or in the drive-thru, this is one of my favorite ways to show love in my community.
This is easier-accomplished in a drive thru situation, because the cashier will have their order already. Otherwise, leaving a $5 bill at the counter (or $2 if you're at a gas station) for the next person is also an option! The idea is that that person will then pay for the coffee of the person behind THEM. If they don't, don't be disappointed... perhaps buying a coffee was outside their budget already. They were just having a really bad day and needed a pick-me-up treat, and your blessing changed their day!
Cheaper than taking someone to lunch, this is always a winning way to get a smile out of a stranger.
Have fun!!
