Why Did I Refuse This Random Act of Kindness?

[RStar]

It's a shame we live in a time and place where we feel uncomfortable when someone wants to be kind. But I would have done the same thing. At least I would have politely said "Thank you, but I'm fine." In fact I may have said something like "I'm still trying to decide what I'm going to order, you go ahead..." just to get him to leave me alone. It does seem strange, though. Perhaps he had a large gift card, and just wanted to use it up.
