This barista was being kind but things went wrong
It can be wonderful when people show even a little act of kindness to those in need. It restores faith in humanity and reminds us that there are still good people in the world, but it is always best to double-check.
When you make assumptions, this is exactly what you get. However, the barista’s gesture is still beautiful. Hopefully, the barista could give the sandwich to someone else who was in desperate need of food and was not counting calories, so it did not go to waste.
