No. Have you?
A few times. I was at a Chinese buffet a month ago with my kids and this old couple paid for our meal. We didn't know until we asked the waitress for our bill. She said it had already been taken care of and this lovely old couple paid for it.
I haven't been that lucky, though when I have money to burn I should do something like that.
That was very nice of them. Maybe one day, I'll do the same if I ever have extra money to spare.
yes,it was on Mother's Day one year,and the woman that worked at this place that I used to eat at all the time,she paid for my mom and mine's dinner.
It's only ladies that gets such a privilege here in my country. I have never experienced such and I'm never looking forward to it.
While on the job we have had meals paid for us multiple times by random people and often anonymously. However, at an expensive dinner or something along those lines, never had it happen.
I myself have taken part in a lot of the drive-through things where people paid for the person behind them, but generally that works when meals are $10-20 90% of the time. I can't see anything like that working at a place where a bill might be $50-200 or even more and random tables.

Never been lucky enough to have someone come over and offer to pay for my meal when I have been out to eat. I see it all the time online where people have offered to pay for the person behinds meal or have walked over to someone and just outright paid for their meal but it's never something that has happened to me.
Nope, this only happens at the Starbucks drive-thru. I don't really like it because then I feel obligated to pass on the gesture to the car behind me, and they usually have a few people in the vehicle. Then my expensive grande is now costing me $20 or more.
I guess my lucky charm did not work with this kind of scenario. If a stranger will do this wholeheartedly, I will feel grateful to him or her.
I was at the Frankfurt airport and wondering if I should go for that cup of tea which cost 3 dollars. I found it expensive and gave up the idea. Minutes later a lady - a perfect stranger - comes to me with a cup of tea and says she saw me and anyway she wanted to get rid of some dollars she had with her before taking her flight (lol).
