Day 18: Coffee Queue

It often seems to me that before the work day begins, you are called upon to make a large number of decisions when buying your morning fix. I listen to people place their orders and I wonder at the complexity of them. 

"Half strength cappuccino with trim milk, low froth and chocolate, please" or "Double strength flat white with Soy and a dash of cinnamon, thanks".

Some mooch with heads nodding to unheard beats of music. Others gaze absently into the distance. A few stand thumbs flying across micro keyboards doing whatever it is one does while waiting in a coffee queue. There is no chitter chatter. In the background hums the cacophony of hisses and splutters, chinks and dinks, clicks and clatters of the coffee making process.
