A Starbucks barista stepped in to help a teenage customer in an ingenious way.
The 18-year-old daughter of Brandy Roberson from Corpus Christi, Texas, was sat in the coffee shop studying when a man she didn't know began talking to her.
A barista clocked the interaction and, unsure if the young woman felt threatened, brought over a free drink with a secret note telling her how she could silently signal for help.
