On a ________ afternoon, everything changed.

Every once in a while, the sub-zero temperatures seal a ________ windows shut.

In such cases, most customers tend to show their annoyance to the employees.

This woman was ________.

“I’ll get the next car’s ________ as well,” she said as she came up to the window to pay. She stood outside, ________ much snow on her hair. Though she was obviously freezing, her bright ________ lit up her face like a fire.

“You can’t ________ their drinks,” I said, confused and tired.

“No, but I’ll buy them,” she said. “Pay it forward and all that.”

Completely puzzled, I charged her as ________, and when the next customer arrived at the window I explained what had just happened. I watched as his ________ changed — first angry to be out in the cold, then ________ at the random act of kindness, and finally, delighted by his ________.

“I suppose I’ll pay for the next order then,” he replied, nodding and waving at the impatient driver ________ him. He ________ over the cash and received his pre-paid hot drink. The trend continued. Customers arrived annoyed, only to leave ________ and pleased. Some were shocked to spend much more than they had expected, ________ others ended up receiving their order for less than half the price.
