I can remember noticing that the lady working the speaker never said how much it was. As I got to the window, I handed her my money, and she said don't worry about it, the person ahead of me paid for it. I ask what the hell, and offered to leave the money for her for the next day. The lady at the counter said that this woman goes to Timmy's every morning and always buys whatever the car behind her orders, no matter what. I expressed my gratitude and asked she be thanked for me.

I drove away, and it easily made my day.
That's called "Pay it Forward"...sort of an opposite of "payback"...the reasoning behind it is that sometime you go to Timmies and will Pay it Forward, and then it will happen to someone else & they'll do it to someone else too.
