LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) – The Lincoln Chick-fil-A at SouthPointe Pavillions were surprised Tuesday night when a woman handed the staff at the drive-thru window $400 in cash. Her only request was to make sure the money was used to pay for as many meals as possible for those in line behind her.
“Upon getting her food, she said ‘here’s some money I’d like you to pay for the cars behind me, as many as you can,’ and we started to count it – it was $400. Everyone just stopped for a minute and she said ‘Merry Christmas’ and drove away,” says Charlie Colón, owner of the location at SouthPointe Pavilions.

My fondest memory was waiting for Santa and Mrs. Claus to arrive at the mall via helicopter. I stood in anticipation with my husband and daughter and all the other families anxiously waiting for them to land. I was so proud when they landed and stepped out and was happy to see them as they were there in all their glory ⦠my Mom and Dad, that is. Yes, they were Mr. & Mrs. Santa Claus at Gateway Mall for many years. Not many daughters can claim having a personal connection to the Guy in the Big Red Suit!
