We paid for a bus drivers sandwich at Subway! Pay It Forward
Richard and I were at Subway the other day picking up a quick bite on route to our next appointment.
In line behind us was a gentleman with a great attitude, and the Subway counter guy asked what he wanted.
He replied "Anything you got, just as long as it's free!"
That gave us a little chuckle.
I noticed he was wearing a uniform, so I asked him what he does for a living and he stated that he was a bus driver.
Richard and I told him that we would like to buy his lunch for him.
He was gracious and thought it was the coolest thing ever.
So did we! I have to tell you, it's the best feeling ever to do some of these little things for people. The look on their faces is priceless.....
You absolutely have a heart of gold, Ralph! Stories like this make me feel better about this crazy world.
Are you guys sharing a blog now? Very nice. Who can I share with?
Ralph and Richard. I think that is very cool. Random acts of kindness are great demonstrations.
Does anybody wanna buy me a sammich?.....
I'll take a veggie patty on honey oat, no mayo, with spinach, avacado (yes, I know that's $1.00 extra!), and oil/vinegar, with Jalapenos on the side.
Thank you.............
I have actually done this in drive-thru's. Paid for the car behind me, sometimes leaving a business card and sometimes just telling the cashier to tell them to have a great day. ONCE someone actually called me to say thanks.
hmm...I may have to steal that PIF gesture! I like it.
Hi Ralph - Nice pay it forward! There's just something about giving someone a great lunch...
Ralph-awesome!!! You know, this reminds me of one of the guys who works in the Subway that I go to all the time and he is just the happiest person in the world. Must be the name that puts everybody in such a great mood : ) Maybe soon I'll take him a gift card or something to another place in town so that he can go eat somewhere since I'm sure he eats at Subway a lot!
Ralph - Good for You! That kindness will come back to you again and agin.
That was so nice of you and Richard. Bus drivers have to deal with a lot of things . . . riders, drivers . . . OY VEY!! Nice touch!!
Moments such as this are priceless! I find that the best things are the "little" things such as this. I am sure this bus driver will remember this for a long time and share it with his friends and family. Excellent Pay It Forward!
Ralph, I’d love to buy you and Richard a Sandwich! What you did is very cool … what perfect timing for the opportunity to present …. It is priceless.
What a nice gesture! I wish I had the money to just spend all day paying for other people's stuff!
