I love this one. It may be my single favorite act of kindness to perform because for me, it’s instant gratification and it really feels, as Tony The Tiger used to say, “GRRRRRREEEAAAATTT!”
The first time I did it, I saw a son and his mother who reminded me of the meals my mom and I used to share. I called the waitress over and asked her to pass me the check, but not say a word to the people. I paid it, left her a very good tip and instructed her to tell them only that a friend bought lunch and to enjoy the day together. I stuck around that first time and the look on their face was priceless. They appeared like they won the lottery when they walked out, looking around the restaurant for familiar faces with smiles that were as bright as the sun.
Me? I knew I won a lottery that day. When you have one of those days that completely sucks and just need to reboot, try this one. I guarantee it will change your whole day for the better.
