The young woman ahead of me ordered a “Quad Venti White Mocha Frappuccino.” Somehow, she paid by holding up her cell phone.
I stepped up and said, “A small, black coffee, please.”
“Blonde, medium or dark?”
“Which one is the strongest?”
“Dark.”
“I’ll take that.”
“That’ll be $2.75.”
I handed her a five. She made a face as she took it with her fingertips.
As I sat down and opened my book, I looked around. Everyone was on laptops. Most wore earbuds. No one said a word.
I left and went to the library, where I could hear people whisper.

I suspect many of our readers will want to jump up and yell, "I'm Dinosaur!" – Editor
