"Earlier in the week, I had a meeting with a business consultant to get some help on a project I’m working on. We met at Starbucks and took a seat directly across from the counter. We weren’t more than five or six feet from anyone walking up to the counter to order.
About thirty minutes into our conversation, a beautiful Native American girl and her mother walk up and are waiting in line."
