Every fast-food employee knows that the drive-through window is the worst position. The window sticks with constant ice; the roar of engines hurts your 36 ; your words are lost in the howling wind.

On a 37 afternoon, everything changed.

Every once in a while, the sub-zero temperatures seal a 38

windows shut. Drivers don’t exactly enjoy having to stand outside in the cold, drive-through window 39 their orders into a speaker box, when they expect to drive through on their heated leather seats. In such cases, most customers tend to show their annoyance to the employees.

This woman was 40 . “I’ll get the next car’s 41 as well,” she said as she came up to the window to pay. She stood outside, 42 much snow on her hair. Though she was obviously freezing, her bright 43 lit up her face like a fire.

“You can’t 44 their drinks,” I said, confused and tired. “No, but I’ll buy them,” she said. “Pay it forward and all that.”
