You do make a good point. I am usually alone when I go some place like Starbucks, but since I live in a tourist community, there is often a family or 4 or 5 behind me.  If they can afford to vacation here...they don't need me to pay for them!

I've never paid for someone's food order or someone's coffee.

When I do a good deed I prefer to keep it to myself. Not the type to tell anyone to "toot my own horn". But thats just me.

@september No one is saying you have to pay the bill for anyone. If someone does a good deed for you pass it on in another way.

@ID2 People ar not "tooting their own horn" as you say. They are relating the acts of kindness that happened to them and what they did in return, and since we don't know who anyone is on these boards, they are not tooting in my opinion.

Lets keep it going. I always pay for a police officer or fireman's meal. They pay it forward by the work they do for us.
