“I’ll get the next car’s order as well,” she said as she came up to the window to pay.She stood outside,gathering much snow on her hair.Though she was obviously freezing,her bright smile lit up her face like a fire.
“You can’t take their drinks,” I said,confused and tired.
“No,but I’ll buy them,” she said.“Pay it forward and all that.”
Completely puzzled,I charged her as requested ,and when the next customer arrived at the window I explained what had just happened.I watched as his expression changed — first angry to be out in the cold,then surprised at the random act of kindness,and finally,delighted by his luck .
“I suppose I’ll pay for the next order then,” he replied,nodding and waving at the impatient driver behind him.He handed over the cash and received his pre-paid hot drink.
The trend continued.Customers arrived annoyed,only to leave calm and pleased.Some were shocked to spend much more than they had expected,while others ended up receiving their order for less than half the price.
Five vehicles passed,then ten,then twenty.No one refused to pay.Customers stood at my window emptying a fist-full of change to buy drinks for a complete stranger.Cars drove off,honking (鸣笛) and sending their thanks.
It only takes one customer,one person,to change the entire flow of traffic.It only takes one moment,one smile,to warm up even the coldest of days.
