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.

She left her wallet behind and it stares at me like the plague. I don't want to touch it but I pick it up and sigh.
"Miss. Miss!"
When she turns around she's disgruntled annoyed. The last thing she wants to see is my face but I hold up the wallet as a reminder that she needs to be cordial.
"The barista pointed this out to me and I told her I'd run after you. Poor thing gets minimum wage and has to split tips with everyone in the store. Somebody else would have taken your wallet, but I'm sure they'll be fine without your continued patronage. That girl though? She's human. Not a slave, right? So have a bit of respect next time."
