How does she know who's a nurse or teacher though?
Maybe if the former is wearing their uniform and but I wouldn't be able to tell who's a teacher unless they explicitly told me. Or do teachers in the US wear teacher uniforms?
You get to know regulars. Sometimes teachers sit in and grade. When it's slower, you can make small talk. I'm not sure if it's a thing with Starbucks but I know a lot of places offer teacher discounts if they show school ID, so maybe that's another avenue for it.
My best friend and a few other friends used to be teachers but they all quit because it's such a shitty, thankless job. Just like with nurses, the fact that they care so much gets exploited by way of paying much less and demanding more hours out of them.
