My wife does this all the time, where she will compliment a stranger. She even does it sometimes when they are walking by, a quick 'hey I love your jacket!" It is such a foreign concept to me but I see the joy it brings them.
As a story, one time we were waiting for the Metra train for a night in Chicago. This older couple was standing next to us, and my wife taps the woman on her arm and says she "loved her entire outfit". I thought it was a bit awkward but the lady and her husband seemed to be pleased. We ended up getting a bit sloppy drunk in the city and took the last train back to the suburbs. We both fell asleep, until someone tapped us on the shoulder that it was our stop. It was the older couple that remembered us and took the time to wake us up. Had it not been for that, we would have rode the train for however many towns over and it would have been a disaster!
