I am sitting down eating my food at a fast food place. Two firefighters have already ordered and are waiting for their food. A couple ahead of them has just received their food.
Suddenly, the fire truck outside starts its siren, and the two firefighters immediately turn on their heels. Without hesitation, they’re sacrificing their already-paid-for lunch for the next emergency. The couple runs up to them and keeps pace with them, never slowing down.
Couple: “Wait, take ours! Hopefully, you can chow down on the way!”
They basically shove their food into the firefighter’s arms as they beeline for the fire truck.
Both Firemen: “Thank you, so much!”
The couple then calmly walks back into the fast food place, gets in line again, and reorders their meals.
Manager: “I saw all that. No way are you two paying again.”
This moment restored my faith in humanity more than a little bit!
:) Not my story:) But I did see a nicely dressed woman pay for a group of police officers lunch one day!
