“Posso prendere un caffé macchiato?” (“Can I have a macchiato?”), I said in a voice a decimal louder than my usual volume. I was standing at an angle in order to squeeze between two suit-clad men and a group of students at the bar. I was on my tiptoes and had raised my hand to get the barista’s attention.
