The described situation happened in one of the Starbucks stores in Texas. The barista working there noticed a situation that seemed quite disturbing to her. She didn’t want to leave it like that and took matters into her own hands. It has been known for a long time that sometimes people under the influence of fear are unable to talk, but they can make certain gestures that will alert someone for help.
She asked the client if she needed help with a message on the mug
A teenage girl showed up at the coffee shop who the barista said might be in danger. The girl took one of the tables and began to study. Then an unfamiliar man approached her. The cafe employee began to fear that the girl might fall victim to him, grabbed the mug of hot chocolate and wrote her a message. The woman did not want to raise suspicions, therefore she said that someone did not take her order, which is why the teenager gets it in.
On the mug there was a message from the barista, in which she asked the girl if she was ok or if she needed help.
Everything’s all right? Do you want us to intervene? If so, remove the lid from the cup.
– was the whole message from the cafe employee.
Fortunately, the girl did not need any help, but the behavior of the barista, which the teenager described to her mother, became a real hit on the Internet.
The teen’s mom made the case public
The girl’s mom decided to share this story on social media. She published a post in which she wrote: – “It strengthens my faith in humanity” and attached a photo of the cup that her daughter received from the barista. The woman also expressed the hope that in an emergency, everyone would behave like this employee of a popular coffee shop.
It has been known for a long time that some gestures can save lives. Let us recall that some time ago the police rescued a kidnapped teenager who showed the gesture of a clenched fist to a car passing by, which means “help me”. Thanks to the quick intervention, the girl was saved from the hands of the kidnapper.
