A few weeks ago Kim, Isaac, and I, short on time, were in the side-by-side drive through line at Chick-fil-A picking up some lunch. You could hear the lady next to us ordering simultaneously. I finished ordering and lurched forward, intent on necking down to the single lane for pickup just as the lady next to us did the same. As both of us immediately stopped, I looked over and the lady smiled, waiving me forward. I did similarly, "No, please". "Thank you," she said and moved ahead of us.
Up ahead at the register, we prepared to pay. "The customer in front already paid for you, sir". "Really," I asked? "Yes sir, have a nice day." I looked forward, hoping to see the car that had just been in front of us in line to somehow say thank you. I looked backward. No one in line behind us. Kim and I looked at each other. I guess giving for no reason isn't dead after all. We smiled. Time for me to do likewise. How have you given to someone today for absolutely no reason at all?
