Ever gone to the drive thru to find out the car in front of you paid for your meal? No? It’s awesome. Treat the car behind you to a happy meal and pay for their order as you drive through. Watch. You just might see some high fives and thumbs ups in your rearview.

You know those gumball machines and little knick-knack twist-knob machines outside your local grocery and five-and-dime store? (wow, I just dated myself) Restless kids always run up to those twisting the knobs and begging their parents to give them a quarter. You know you did. Surprise them by leaving some quarters in the slots.
