I'm in McDonalds drive through just getting a coffee, black and when I get up there to pay my 99 cents the lady tells me the guy in front paid for me, and that's been going on for 27 cars. I look behind me and it's a fricking minivan packed with kids.

I said thanks! And drove off. I think if it were just a single person or maybe a couple I would have played along, but there was no way I was going to pay $40 or $50 for God knows how many meals because the person in front of me paid for a coffee.

Am I a bad person?

Were you paying cash?

I would have at least asked how much & if too much said I don’t have that much cash on me.

It would have been a good deed but you were not obligated

probably a scam. She probably knew the people behind OP.

The most a mini van can carry is 7 passengers. Very few carry 8.

So let’s say 8 happy meals at $3 a piece.

That’s $25

Pussy. Pay it forward.

Baton Rouge would struggle mightily to get to four cars.

BS. And you can feed a minivan for like $25 anyway, kids meals are like $3.49

Actually, IMO their coffee is on point--the one thing they do right--and it's like a third of the price of Starbuck-types.

In the first sentence you made it obvious you were lying by providing details that have no relation to the story.

I guess "pay it forward" isn't your thing.

Give her the money, she keeps it, still charges the car full of people. Wake up
