This Guy Refuses To Pay $46 Starbucks Bill To Continue The Pay-It-Forward Train

Have you ever participated in challenges or trends that encourage people to do something good? It's a fun and effective way to demonstrate and remind people that this world is so wonderful. There will always have someone who is willing to give you a hand when you are needing help. And vice versa, you also can be that person who brightens other people's day.
However, sometimes, people are just confused about the reason why they need to do something good for some strangers that they don’t know much about just to brighten their day. Take this guy for example. One time, TikTok user Mac Tray who goes by the username @im_blessed55 got dragged into a special trend - the “pay it forward” trend in which people gave strangers a kind gesture of paying for the order of the car behind them. After sharing his experience on TikTok, this trend became highly discussed. Scroll down to take a look.

The video shows how the man got his drink at a Starbucks drive-thru and also details how others in line were engaging in the "pay for the person behind you" trend. The man admitted to stopping a 23-car streak and gave a brief explanation of the event. But first, Mac said that "they tried to set him up," referring to the car that was following him.
A person or people in another car had placed a $46 order, whereas the TikTok user only paid $6 for his drink. Of course, the man thought this circumstance was strange, so he decided to stop the streak right then. People had many different ideas on what happened and how the incident should've been handled, which sparked an online debate.

Many individuals thought that stopping the streak was the appropriate thing to do

Some speculated that the man could have covered a portion of the bill while keeping with the streak

Later, it was discovered that this gesture is not encouraged and is often overlooked by the personnel that really prepares the orders

When this gesture becomes "a train," some people have found that it loses its meaning and becomes forced goodness
