I was running some errands earlier today and stopped to fill up. I went in to pre-pay and the clerk told me somebody had already paid. What??? He told me an elderly gentleman comes in every 2-3 weeks to fill up, and he leaves his credit card on file and instructions to pay for the next person who comes in to pay with cash. He had just left and I was the lucky one!
I didn't even have any words, which is highly unusual for me. I told the clerk thanks and filled up. That totally brought tears to my eyes, 25 gallons of gas is not cheap. It was a total fluke I didn't have my credit card, I haven't paid cash in years. What are the odds? What a sweet man!
I will pay it forward the next time I'm in a drive-thru.
(Now I need to find out who this kind gentleman is and stalk him to make sure I'm always behind him at the pump
