An easy one - #22. Pay for someone at the drive-thru 10 times. So, I'm at Mickey D's and I pull up, gal says my total and I say "..and I'm paying for the car behind me". I.e. a totally random thing, I didn't even see the driver of the pick-up.
So, the gal asks "Was that the Happy Meal...[couple other items]...?". I'm like I have no idea. And she says, "Well I need to know the right order in order to clear it out."
At this point, I tucked my tail between my legs, took my change back and went on with my day.
So, an inauspicious beginning to this little project.
In fairness to the window girl, this was a McDonald's with two ordering lanes merging into a single pick-up lane. And so she couldn't 100% know what the next order was; as a frequent customer (see #38 and #58) I can attest that people get out of order.
Still it irked me a bit, and leaves me wondering how often we erect barriers to people finding it easy to do the right thing. I wonder too now, if I could have said well I'll pay for whoever does have the happy meal, or if that would have messed up the queuing system if they were out of order. In that case, I guess I could leave exact change.
Man, it is tough to be a good person :)
