5:59 a.m.

The lights are on but no one's home . . .

I went to Dunkin' Donuts on the way to work this morning. No one in the place except the two women who were stocking the donut shelves and ignoring me. So close I could reach out and touch them. Not even looking at me. Walking back and forth like I was invisible.

Finally one looked up at me with a mix of disdain and incredulity. "Can I help you?"

"I would like a large coffee with milk, please."

Sigh. Eye roll.

"I'll get it for you but we don't open until six."

"Oh no. I'm so sorry!" (Glance at watch.) "Would you like me to come back in one minute?"
