This literally happens all the time.. Have you been through a drive through?

You order first, then at the first window you pay, then at the second window you pick up what you ordered. So you can pay for the car behind you, people do it, sometimes they get a long chain of people doing it, all paying for the car behind them.

Personally I think the long chain is dumb, and I won't participate if I'm in the middle. If nobody ends it then nobody benefits from it. Might as well be me, I'm not rich.

However.. you are right, I don't think it would be easy to take the food of the car behind you, even if you paid for it. I've never worked in fast food but I'm sure there's checks in place to make sure the right car gets the food, so you'd have to explain yourself. I imagine?

Edit: reminded me of this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATjL9CmwkCo

I have, but not in a long time.

I didn't know payment chains were a thing. Makes little sense to me, the Tim Robinson sketch kind of shows the gist of why, but why not.
