While people often tend to pop into their local Starbucks for a hot drink, the popular coffeehouse company has been applauded for something very different this week. One man took to Twitter to praise a kind hearted barista for going the extra mile to accommodate an 18-year-old customer in need.
James Herring, who boasts over 33,000 followers on Twitter under @itsjamesherring, commended the staff member for leaving a surprise message on a customer's coffee cup, the Mirror reports. The tweet, which was posted on January 16, went viral as social media users praised the sincere interaction between the barista and the young stranger.
The teen had been approached by a stranger and the Starbucks worker cleverly left a discreet message for the girl on a hot chocolate cup they said had been left by another customer. The message on the cup said: "Are you ok? Do you want us to intervene?"
