...and there was no one behind me to keep the chain going...

What is the protocol there? Was I supposed to leave a $5 for the next person? A $10?

I just graciously tipped my hat to the person in the silver Tahoe as they drove away but I kinda feel guilty and I don't want the karma gods to smite me. Do I just wait till next time someone is behind me and return the favor?

I think your safe. The chain has to break some time. Pay if forward later in the day.

I would just pay it forward the next time I went through. Not much you can do without anyone behind you.

just enjoy your free breakfast ang go about your day.

The person who started the dirve through pay it forward is just a self serving POS who loves to brag about what a great person they are...

There is no such thing as a truly selfless act unless it is done by accident.

You should have left something......eventually someone would have driven up next in line.

By breaking the chain you'll die later today.....slow & painfully......so you have that going for you

Been happening a lot with people in my area of town the past month. Many friends have posted and talked about it, it must be catching on for some reason in a lot of places. I passed it on myself last week at Starbucks.

I got a milkshake paid for me once at Chik-fil-a and I paid for the person behind me. I should have known by the mini-van, but needless to say I was out about 25$ over a measly milkshake... fricking do gooders.

I hate this shite. Every time that happens to me I swear a family of four ends up behind me. From a $6 meal to $20.

Dude posted on the wrong board and was just paying his punishment. Enjoy your food and go see Straight Outta Compton.

Donate the $10 to a charity. People going through a drive-thru don't need your money

Ive never had that happen to me, but I hate drive thrus. It's embarrassing when you get nabbed trying to pay for people at sit down dinners. My parents and I tried to pay for a guy a couple of years ago when it was insanely obvious it was the last night before he shipped out. The waiter didnt keep his damn mouth shut.
