Starbucks Barista Who Gave Her Customer A Second Chance To Live

Many people go to Starbucks as part of their daily routine, grabbing a coffee and maybe a pastry, partaking in the free wifi, listening to indie tunes, and enjoying the relaxing environment. Maybe we get a nice, warm hello from our regular barista as they take our usual order. Otherwise, we don’t tend to expect much more from the coffee shop experience. We certainly don’t anticipate that a friendly barista will end up completely changing our lives. But that’s exactly what happened to Vince Villano in 2018 when his barista, Nicole McNeil, noticed that he seemed a little down compared to his usual demeanor, and decided to talk to him. She discovered something that shocked her, and decided that she had to take immediate action.
