WIS News 10 - Columbia, South Carolina | Man pays for coffee of customer behind him, starts chain

Man pays for coffee of customer behind him, starts chain

Posted: Updated:

MIAMI, FL (WIS) - For those of you who complain about never hearing any good news, take a look at this.

A random act of kindness at a Starbucks in Florida caught on, and turned into a story of paying it forward.

It started Friday morning when one man paid for the coffee for the person in line behind him, and it went on all day.

Ironically, this chain of 'nice' started with anger.

The customer behind the man who started the whole this was honking and yelling at him. So the man, a tai chi master, responded with a bit of zen.

"It wasn't an idea to pay anything forward. Of course I didn't know that all this would happen and nor was it even a random act of kindness. It was something else it was a change of consciousness. It was my desire to take this negative and change it into something positive," said the man.

The chain of paying for the car behind you lasted all day long.
