On Tuesday morning, after night nannying, I decided to swing into Starbucks for a "second wind". It is a brand new Starbucks that has only been open for a week... As I was in the drive-through line, I saw a Wendy's Happy Meal bag in their beautiful landscaping. I kept staring at it thinking how awful for someone to throw it the bushes when there is a trashcan 10ft away. Since there was three cars in front of me anyway, I decided to jump out of my car, pick it up, and throw it in the trash. As soon as I picked up the happy meal bag, I saw a $5.00 bill underneath it!!! "WOW!!! ... It's my lucky day!" It was then my turn to pay for my coffee, so when I pulled up to the window, I handed the guy the $5.00 bill along with my debt card and told him to put the cash in the tip box and to put the coffee on the card. He had a HUGE smile on his face.... He said, "I have been here since 5am and NO ONE has picked up that happy meal bag. I thought it would be neat to put cash under it so whoever did decide to pick it up would get a little reward...and instead of you keeping it, you put it in our tip jar." He then handed me my debt card back along with my coffee and said, "no payment needed". That made my entire morning! It just goes to show....It pays to Pay it forward!!!
