I'm running my normal office hours in the Internet Cafe today, when an elderly man rolls up to my desk (he's in a powerchair).
"Do you have a menu that I can look at?" he asks. Puzzled by his question, I reply, "I'm sorry, sir? A menu?"
"Oh, I'm sorry," he says. "You guys don't serve food here?" I'm beginning to think this is a joke, so I the poor fellow a little more.
"No, sir, we don't serve food here. Are you looking for the Michelangelo dining room? Because it's right around the corn..."
"Oh, just drinks and stuff, then? Coffee? Tea?" At this point, I'm pretty sure he's serious.
"No, sir. I'm sorry, we don't serve any food or beverages here." At this point, the gentleman cocks his head slightly to the side, before he inquires, "Well, what do you serve here?" At this point, he's a little irritated.
"Um," I hesitate, "Internet?" I answer sheepishly. What else was I supposed to say?
The man gives me a blank stare for a second.
"Oh," he finally replies, with a rather dejected sigh. Then with a electric click and a whirr, he spins and scoots his way out of the Internet Cafe.
