Pay for the stranger behind you

“You brace for them thinking it's a line or a scam. Mostly you get a startled thank-you and a good story.”

The Recipe

  1. At the next café counter, tell the server you're also paying for whatever the person behind you orders.
  2. Wait long enough to see their face when they're told, and say it was nothing.
