I have done this a few times for the person behind me at Tim Hortons and for people at the grocery store who have had to leave an item behind because they did not have the money. I hope to be able to do it again when I am in a position to do so!

i do it all the time.Young service men on dates with their wives before deployment comes to mind as a tear jerker for me.
I not only paid for gheir dinner but i gave them 100 so they could go out for there last evening together they had 80 between them. They where so grateful.
Christmas at Starbucks i helped a young student at local college with 25 starbucks card and 50 cash so he could sign up to volunteer.Its good karma.
Treated my sister and her family to Disneyland. 405 dlrs it was the least i could do for their kindness towards me.
I give whenever i can make a difference.
I still give people Christmas gifts especially to strangers. Love it.

As much as I’d like to believe this feel-good story, “pooches” are not allowed in the store, unless they are seeing-eye dogs, and cashiers are not allowed to let people walk out of the store with items that have not been paid for. Then again, since the writer was oblivious to what was going on until it was almost time for her to pay, it IS possible that the man had handed the cashier a loaded gift card to deplete, or a large amount of obviously real cash prior to the first Deliberate Act of Kindness… But really, how could she not notice the running total while things were rung through? I always watch the screen -even with a stranger talking to me at the cash I’d at least glance up!

What a wonderful story – thank you for sharing and for your commitment to pay it forward. Everyday I look for a new Payitforward story to read and then I do one thing to Pay It Forward myself. Yesterday two of us each made a small donation to a worthy project that was raising money to buy a tent for an aid agency providing shelter for disaster victims.

I did that once at Tim Hortons. I paid for the person behind me for their coffee and food.
