Pay-it-forward Cheetos
The vending machines at work are very old. These vending machines are the kind that you turn manually after having placed quarters in the slots, but they have the best junk food!
It's common for people around my office to ask for quarters for the vending machines if they happen to be short. The other day, I paid particular attention to one person who loved Cheetos. I decided to place 2 quarters in the slot and went about my day. I happened to be talking to my boss in the break room, near the machines, when that person came in to buy some Cheetos with quarters in hand.
I heard him say, "Hey, someone already paid for my snack!" and proceeded to turn the level to get the cheezy swirls. I then casually remaked , "Maybe you should pay it forward too," and he did!! I saw him place the quarters in the slot after taking his bag of Cheetos. I'm hooked on doing this now!
