“What about Molly?’ David asked.
“What about her?”
“Is she insidiously destroying the planet, humiliating people, and poisoning you?”
“Probably not.”
“Consider that cup of coffee,” he said. “What destructive chemicals did they use to grow it? Is it fair trade or did the growers

“I don’t know.”
“Should I not tip her?”
“No. She’s just doing her job.”
“Exactly. She came to work today with the intention to serve people. She found out what you wanted, and she went to get if for you. How does she differ from any other person in business in America?”
