you were out and about, walking down the cold streets of New York. Mid autumn, and i was just looking for a restroom. I walk into a café, the bell chiming as i enter. Looking at the pastries and cakes. Walking up to the counter to talk to the barista

    “Could i use the restroom?”

you ask, looking at the barista. He looked so done with the day

“Restroom is for customers only, sir the last part definitely sounded sarcastic. He used his pen to gesture towards the long line of customers

“Ill leave a huge tip, please man. Its an emergency” you say, desperately willing to offer anything “No can do” the barista says, clearly enjoying your misery. Before you could snap back, the customer currently ordering looks at you “What did you want again, babe?” the stranger says. Was he trying to help you?
