Even if I realize I have someone in the same coffee shop who's looking to talk to strangers, how do I recognize them short of hollering?
The problem is trying to keep it very minimalist and simple though while throwing all those options in the loop
"Ask the person behind the counter for me, they know me", "sitting in the comfy armchair by the door with my laptop and xyz headphones on"
seems like it would stay pretty simple that way.
