I Read Something Life Changing Today

I really wish I had thought of this.

Today I randomly came across a blog post from a guy in Oregon. (Read The Story)
It's a crazy idea. A cafe in Japan where the next person gets what YOU ordered, and you get what the person in front of you ordered. He & his friend surprised a woman & her son. Read the story to find out how. :) I'm not sure if we could get away with an awesome idea like that in America, but it shocked me.

Anyway, when I was reading the comments I came across one that really inspired me. I think I'll make it a tradition of my own. I'll let you know how it goes.

"An old girlfriend of mine used to do something similar - or perhaps it's an inverse example — around Christmas here in the US, and I've continued the tradition off and on, long after we've broken up. But instead of a cafe like this, you do it at a drive-thru restaurant (how American!). You simply pay for your order as you would normally, then when you get your food, you say you want to pay for the person's order behind you (and usually I have to explain this a few times to the person taking my money, as it's a completely foreign concept). It sometimes starts a chain reaction…after all if you pull up to the window and someone's paid for your meal already, why not pay for the next person? My ex-girlfriend spoke with someone at the restaurant a couple of days later, after doing this once, and found that the chain reaction had gone on for a few hours. I guess the chain breaks when there's no one behind you, so the amount due is therefore unknowable. I've had on more than one occasion had the restaurant worker recognize me later, and tell me that the chain went on quite some time. Give it a try…sometimes people will go to great lengths to chase after you and thank you. But it is somehow more satisfying to watch the surprise on their faces, and then disappear before they spot you."
