Thanks, now I have a name for something I was introduced to in my small town when the person in front of me paid for my coffee without my knowledge - Until I went to pay the bill. So I, in turn, bought for the next car (drive through local espresso shop).

I have done it a half dozen times in the last few months, and hope it is helping to spread holiday cheer right now, something many of my fellow towns people could do with more of. Too many scare tactics in national media, good to remind people to take care of each other locally with anonymous acts of generosity.
