I made a barista cry today

There's a coffee shop near my therapist that I go to right before my session sometimes. One of the baristas there is a middle aged lady who always smiles at me. I noticed last week she was wearing a cool black+white striped apron instead of the uniform ones for the coffee shop so I told her "I like your apron". She got really excited and pulled out a stack of like 4 more aprons, all different patterns of black and white (like stripes, polka dots, checkers etc). She was telling me that some people don't like her style and even her house is all black+white. Well anyway I told her whatever makes her happy is the right thing haha.

Anyway this week I was heading to the same coffee shop and for some reason this lady pops into my head. As I'm putting on my scarf I see a black+white zig zag scarf in my closet that I used to love but I haven't worn it in ages. So I'm thinking this lady will probably take it off my hands.

Well I order my coffee and give it to her and she starts CRYING and comes around the counter and hugs me. I'm mortified and I'm trying to explain that I was just gonna donate it anyway and it's okay it's just a scarf lol. Anyway I was meeting someone at the coffee shop and I could hear the barista sniffling in the background for at least 5 minutes.
