Would You Give Your Last Dolllar To Anyone?

I know its been awhile since I posted on here. But I felt I had to share it since it was something that I had happened to me not to long ago. I was at McDonalds waiting in line when I saw two young kids (sister/brother) trying to pay for their happy meal. It didnt occur to me that these kids were no more than 7 or 8 yrs old and needed help, until I started listening to their conversation.

I looked in my own pocket and saw that the 5 dollars that I was planning to spend was my absolute last since I was dying of starvation. And just when I figured things couldn't get any worse, I heard the attendant say to the kids that they did not have enough to buy their meals. I immediately chimed in and told the lady I would handle the situation by paying for their little meal. The kids and the attendant were shocked as to why I did that, but the kids just smiled and said thank you. And they actually was starting to cry, I guess some things mean alot to some people. But anyways after the kids got their meal and left the attendant decided to give me a free meal due to my generosity. Which of course I took it, but the point is normally I would not do that. But I guess when times are hard you have to make a sacrafice, even for someone you do not know. So have any of you had a similar experience, and got blessed for it?

I'm sure your joking right, but to be honest all I was saying is that it doesn't hurt to give because you never what goodness might come back toward you. That's all I was trying to say. And sometimes you just never know when someone might need something more than you .

I'm not religious but in a situation like that I would definitely give them my money. When something like that happens to me, I feel that I'm somehow being reminded, in a small way, of how well life has treated me.

Good on you for helping them out but it's best to do things like that with the belief that no one will ever know what you did and you won't be thanked for it, let alone rewarded or blessed.

I admit when you put it like that it does sound messed up, that she gave the free meal instead of the kids, but at the time I wish I could have turned it down but its the past, and cant doing anything about it now.

I understand that you might think the story is fake but hey man I have no reason to lie about what happened. I am merely stating what took place in the past, it is what is man.

Ok since you wanna go that route with me that fine. I admit I was short on cash at the time since I was rushing to work. So the only change that was in my wallet was that 5 dollars. Please dont act like just because someone drives an m3 that I am suppose to just have 100 dollar bills in my wallet, it doesn't work that way son. So if you cant that I am merely talking about a simple gesture I did for those kids that is your problem. And dude I really having nothing to prove to you honestly.

Son ?? I appreciate you thinking that I'm on the young side, but I assure you that I'm old enough to be your weird Uncle.


Kudos to you for doing that. Just seemed strange the way you worded the story.

nono not calling it actually fake at all. I would LIKE to say the story is fake because of that (because it's so fucking ridiculous that McDonalds would do that), but I do actually believe it.

sorry wasn't conveyed well with no voice connotations

no I'd do the same thing, and have been in similar situations....sometimes you don't have any other cash on you and you don't have your cards on you. thus you only have a couple bucks on hand.
