Lend an ear

He shakes his head and gives a wry smile. "Oh, folks just spilling their drinks. Everyone's in too much of a rush… not that I blame them, you know? Nobody's boss wants to hear how you're a minute late because you didn't want to spill your latte."

Or, dressed as a janitor?:

He shakes his head and gives a wry smile. "Way I figure it, someone spills a latte… sugary drink, but they usually come from Lattes! down the street. The floor gets sticky and throws people's stride off, so they all drop their drinks too."

Or?

"Oh, you know me," he forces a smile. "Every day's a good day."
