Wow

A brief, brilliant essay on Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee.
In the episode with Mr. Seinfeld and David Letterman, the departing host of the “Late Show With David Letterman” on CBS, the guest seems uncomfortable being in an actual coffee shop, speaking within earshot of actual people.  
 “Can we just ask these people to leave?” Mr. Letterman says. 
 “We don’t own this place,” Mr. Seinfeld answers. Mr. Letterman allows himself a chuckle, then says, “We can change that, though, can’t we?” They can. Must be nice.
I enjoy the show, but the guy is right. We're turning into a caste society, at least on the coasts.
