Write Yourself In Scenario: You’ve been stuck behind an obnoxious customer in line, trying to get a coffee. She’s been rude to the barista, slinging the worst of insults at her, and abrasive with you. After she orders, she slams her hands down on the countertop and then storms off, announcing she’s never coming back again. She left her wallet behind. What do you do?

Before her lips could part to allow the deluge of derogatory and ignorant slurs, her bedazzled, dollar bill long wallet slapped her right on the bridge of her nose. As she fell out the doorway, a cheer arose from the coffee shop. The barista jumped up on the counter, freed momentarily from the shackles is sanity and customer service. "Have a nice fucking day!"
