While people tend to pop to their local Starbucks to enjoy a hot coffee or an iced latte, the popular coffeehouse has been praised for something far from beverages this week. A coffee lover took to popular social media app Twitter to praise a barista for going above and beyond to accommodate an 18-year-old customer in need.
On Monday 16 January, James Herring - who boasts more than 33,000 followers on Twitter account @itsjamesherring - praised an employee for leaving a discreet message on a customer's coffee cup. The heartfelt interaction of a barista subtly offering their help to the young teen approached by a stranger went viral after resurfacing in James' tweet.
