Helping Tourists at Starbucks

My co-worker and I took a mid-afternoon coffee break today. While we were waiting for his beverage to be made, I was approached by two female tourists (mother and daughter... i think) who asked me what I ordered and if I could help the mother order the same. The conversation was friendly and within seconds, I was utilizing my knowledge of sign language to break down communication barriers. This short interaction reminded me how much I enjoy helping people, especially those exploring new territory. Oh, their country of origin is Austria!
