A Texas mom is filled with gratitude for the kindness a group of baristas showed her teenager. Brandy Roberson's 18-year-old daughter was studying alone at a local Starbucks on a Saturday night when she was approached by a man she didn't know. Wanting to make sure the teen was okay, a barista came over with "an extra hot chocolate someone forgot to pick up." The drink also included a handwritten message: "Are you okay? Do you want us to intervene? If you do, take the lid off the cup." Roberson said her daughter, who wishes to remain anonymous, told her about what happened as soon as she came home that night. "It sounded like he was quite animated. I believe this is what alerted the employees," she told Today. Roberson told the outlet that her daughter did feel safe – and that the man eventually left once he realised that the teenager was in communication with the staff about his presence. Knowing that somebody had her daughter's back meant a lot to the Texas mom. "As a mom, that is my worst fear that something would happen to my child and nobody would be there to help," she told Today. "I am incredibly grateful to the staff there," she added.
