The Go Between Lady

--by phyllisshepard, posted Aug 27, 2022

Sometimes when I go through a drive through fast food place I will pay for the car behind me. There is an Arby’s not far from me and sometimes I’ll go there. There is a very nice young lady at the window to take my money and the first time I went through when she was there and I paid for the car behind me and gave her a “Smile” card to give to them, she lit up like a Christmas tree. I’ve done that a few times since then (I don’t often eat fast food) and every time she just seems so pleased and blesses me.
Today when I went through and asked how much the order was for the car behind me she kind of turned her head and said, “it’s pretty high”, and I said, “how much” – she said, “$36.03” and I said okay and gave her the money and the card. You’d have thought I’d given her a gift. So I asked her how people reacted when she told them and gave them the card and she grinned, broadly and said, “ They say, WOW”. Well, as a random act, I gave her 3 dollar coins – not anonymous, but random – and she was tickled. Made her day. Made my day. Hope it made the folks behind me happy as well.
