My Girfriend, the Enforcer

For your reference, this is Rosa:

How about those steely eyes? That iron will? You don't want to mess with that.

Yesterday Rosa walked into a Starbucks (where she worked for 6 years) to grab a coffee. The barista is cleaning a machine, her back to the register, and says she'll be right there. There is one other customer standing in front of Rosa- a kid in baggy jeans with his sweatshirt draped over his shoulder. Rosa can't see his face. Then, as they stand there waiting the kid leans forward to look into the bakery case and casually reaches into the tip jar and grabs a handful of singles. He straightens up and without a moment's hesitation Rosa leans into the kid and quietly says, "I saw you do that. Put it back." ...and he does. Then they have to stand there about another 30 seconds, during which reason catches up to action and Rosa thinks, "He might turn around and punch me in the face". But no, the barista turns around, the kid asks for a glass of water, and he walks away.
