Windsorite Susan Taylor was at Toast, ready to pay for her breakfast when she was told the bill had been covered.

“The waitress made an announcement in the restaurant that this lovely couple in the corner is paying for everyone who is in the restaurant at the time for breakfast,” Taylor told AM800’s Mornings with Mike and Meg.

“She (the donor) said that she was American, and she just wanted to apologize,” said Taylor.

“She said she knows that their president has caused a rift in what was happening between our countries, and she wanted us to know that not all Americans are bad people.”

      At least it’s the “pay for your meal” goofy rich and not “dismantle the government” goofy rich.

          Where is this line where one crosses over to rich?

          Wondering if you could outline the specifics as I’m confused. Would a doctor be thought of as rich if they got a good salary and owner a house?

          How do you know how much money these Americans had?

      absolutely on par for an American. Oh, are you bleeding? let me stuff your wound with dollar bills.

      They don’t even need to be rich. Maybe that amount of money actually meant something to them and they were just awkward and a bit lost, but in these times, who could blame them. At least they wanted to do a nice thing :)
