The Kindness of a Barista

“Tell me to what you pay attention and I will tell you who you are.”
~ José Ortega y Gasset

Recently, I was at my neighborhood coffee shop waiting for my “drink” – a green tea concoction with soy milk and very light on the tea.  As I was standing there, a barista asked his co-worker who had made my drink how many scoops of tea he had put in it.  The answer was too many and the first barista told his colleague that he had misunderstood the instructions.  I asked the first barista how he knew and he said that my drink looked too dark.  I was amazed – and grateful – that he remembered how light I take my tea.
