The girl thankfully was safe, and didn't seem to have an issue with the man who'd approached her.
"She was sitting at her table alone studying and this man came by and noticed what she was studying and wanted to talk to her about it," Brandy Roberson, the girl's mom, said. 
"He, I think, just kind of became really loud and animated about it."

While the daughter felt totally safe and did not feel the need to remove the lid from her drink, she was thankful to the workers for watching her back, as was her mom.
"How grateful I am for people who look out for other people!"

"A great example for other people, for other businesses," said Roberson in her gratitude. 
"I don't know if that Starbucks trains their baristas that way, but if they do, bravo! If they don't, my gosh, take a note, you know, from this crew."

After President Donald Trump lashed out at late-night host Seth Meyers on Truth Social over the weekend and called him a "truly deranged lunatic," Meyers responded to Trump’s “ranting and raving” about him with a damning supercut on his program.
Trump apparently tuned in to Thursday night’s episode of Late Night with Seth Meyers, where Meyers poked fun at the president’s complaints about Navy aircraft carriers using electromagnetic catapults instead of traditional steam-powered ones. Meyers joked that Trump "spends more time thinking about catapults than Wile E. Coyote."
