barista
When he was offered a position to work at Starbucks Sam told his parents that for the first time in his life. That his life had real meaning.
Sam was diagnosed with autism and like some people with autism Sam has a movement disorder. Sam has a hard time keeping his body still. Sam never thought that he would be able to work behind the bar because of his sudden movements but his manager Chris believed in him and got Sam to channel his movements into dance.
It has taken Sam and Chris a lot of shifts and hours to get Sam to do what he is doing in the video. Sam is now known as the dancing barista. If it wasn't for Chris believing in Sam he would of never believed in himself.
More people like Sam need to be seen, heard and given a chance to thrive and dance."

For the most part, the previously-featured Starbucks white cup contest entries pale in comparison to the works of art that London barista Gabriel Nkweti Lafitte draws for some of his customers. You can see more examples at his Facebook page. (H/T Foodbeast.)
