They were so appreciative of us asking them to sit with us that when I went to the register to pay my bill I also paid their bill. I never said anything to them as I left a tip large enough for both checks and left. My wife was very pleased and I felt great. I am not looking for accolades I tell you this story to encourage more people to do the same. If you see someone who looks like they are celebrating a special occasion or who may appear to need help paying why not anonymously help them out. You will feel really great.

When we worked at a university, we fed hungry college students who couldn't afford to go home for Thanksgiving because they wanted to go home for Christmas. We still try to help out where we can.
It's a wonderful thing to help out other people. It helps both parties.
