“A few weeks ago, I went through Sonic for lunch and paid for the car behind me. Well, I went back through Sonic around 6pm. (Don’t judge, I was pregnant and needed a milkshake!) When I got to the window, the cashier told me that the car in front of me had paid for my shake! The cashier told me that it had been a chain reaction since someone that afternoon had paid for the car behind them. EVERY car since my lunch visit had paid for the car behind them!...The cashier said that everyone was so elated to hear that someone had done that for them and it raised the spirits of those working there. Of course, I paid for the car behind me, who was I to end such an amazing chain reaction?!”Facebook

Real stories of People Making a Difference

“I saw a woman with a gorgeous floral cardigan on and told her how great it looked on her. She then told me that her best friend gave it to her and how she sadly passed away last year unexpectedly. She thinks of people who notice it as angels sending a message from her friend. It was moving and touching and caught me off guard a bit, but she smiled, said bye and as she was walking away she said I made her day. Little did she know, she actually made mine.”@amytangerine, Instagram

“We did this one a couple weeks ago and her reaction was priceless! She was so surprised and asked why we would want to give her a candy bar. She could not stop smiling and told us we made her day!”@ kaylenebuchanan, Instagram

“We were waiting outside at Costco one day, and the kids spent an hour putting people’s carts back. :) It was the best! Now, every time we drive by, the kids talk about how much fun it was to do that Random Act.”Rebecca White, Facebook

“Rented a movie and left money inside so someone can rent a movie for free.”@KUnander, Twitter

“Was at the checkout line. Asked, what’s the best candy bar here? Cashier says. I bought it and gave it to her. Smiles!!”@CoryErcanbrack, Twitter

“My son (age 8) loves your show. He used his own money to pay for everyone in line as a ‘random act.’”@bjallenBYU3, Twitter

“During the winter we have some pretty serious storms in Boston and if I have some time I always dig at least one other car out on my way to leave work. No one actually knows it’s me and no one has ever asked who does it. I know how it is to have two feet of snow and no shovel and three kids waiting for dinner. It is a huge relief to them.”Lindsay Dahlberg, Facebook
