The missus and I took the GSD to the specialty vet today. It’s about an hour drive and we allowed an hour and a half to make sure there were no delays that would make us late. We arrived with plenty of time to spare and following the Covid protocols we phoned in and they came and collected the dog and returned him after the exam. The appointment was for 1300 and we were on our way home by 1330. I had a little hunger pang and decided on a convenient McDonalds. I have eaten too many messy foods in the car and end up with bits of lettuce and sauce in my lap. I went with a simple order, two cheeseburgers and a cup of water. As we got in line I noticed the car in front had a Trump sticker on it and couldn’t make out the top line of text due to glare. The missus reported that the top line was “Women For.” I am not a Trump supporter, but gave it no more thought. When we pulled up to the ‘pay here’ window, we were informed that the “Women For Trump” car had paid our bill, $3.04. I was dumbfounded. The incident left me with many questions, why, did they know the order was small, what if it had been a car full of hungry kids. There was also an awkward moment where I wondered if I was expected to continue the trend. I have heard of the “pay it forward” movement, but have never encountered anything like this. It was a pleasant ride home!
