A bit rich to say not being able to phone a restaurant is "de-humanizing," w/o acknowledging how de-humanizing it can be working in restaurants. Imagine managing online orders, Resy, & being on phone w/someone who's arguing about your vax policy. And I know #NotAllBoomers.

To be clear, I love @HarlanCoben @netflix shows. I'll keep watching them as long as they keep making them.
