A man clutching a small paper bag asked for a coffee.

“A coffee, please.”

The woman behind the counter wore a name badge that said “Tina”, and blue eyeliner with Cleopatra ticks.

Her name was not Tina, and he did not want a coffee.

“Americano? White? Sugar?” she said.

“Yes please,” he leant down briefly to scratch his knee, and as he rose up, placed the small paper bag on the counter, “To all. Except no sugar. And no milk.”
