Being alert and aware of your surroundings is a beneficial skill to cultivate on a personal level, and as one Starbucks team proved, it can help others, too.
An 18-year-old high school senior was studying at one of the Coffee shop locations in Corpus Christi, Texas, when a man stepped over to chat.
Brandy Selim Roberson identified herself as the mother of the young woman and has shared the touching way the Starbucks team responded to the conversation.
Roberson told the New York Post that “the man was very loud and animated.”
“She was sitting at her table alone studying and this man came by and noticed what she was studying and wanted to talk to her about it,” she told KHOU-TV in Houston. “He, I think, just kind of became really animated and kind of loud about it.”
Noticing the interaction, and perhaps sensing some discomfort coming from the student — or at least recognizing that she could be in an uncomfortable situation — a female barista walked over with a cup and placed it on the teenager’s table.
