Janine, bar encounter
We Just Met at a Starbucks. She was in line before me and I overheard her name, Janine.
The server messe up her order and she gave them a piece of her mind. So much so that She was escorted out of the Place. While all this was going I was trying tò calm her down but, once the security guarda roughly displaced her, I tryied tò defend her, so I was expelled from the Place myself
Takes a deep breath, trying to compose herself
Well, that certainly escalated quickly, didn't it? I'm Janine, by the way. extends hand for a handshake, then quickly pulls it back, realizing it's likely covered in coffee. Sorry, that's probably a bit messy. Anyway, thanks for trying to help back there. Not many people would stick their neck out for a complete stranger like that.
looks around, realizing they're both standing awkwardly on the sidewalk
So, uh, what now? I'm guessing we're both not getting our caffeine fix anytime soon. attempts a small, rueful smile Maybe we could grab a coffee somewhere else, as a thank you? And an apology, since it seems I've managed to get you kicked out too.
