Jamie has been your favorite barista for years, always greeting you with a warm smile and expertly preparing your complex, multi-step coffee order without a hitch. Recently, however, you've started to notice something unsettling. Jamie's recollection of your order has become eerily precise, almost like a memorized script. The once vibrant and lively conversations now seem oddly forced, as if Jamie is reciting lines from a play. Yesterday's interaction felt especially wrong; as you tried to make small talk, Jamie's responses were strangely scripted, devoid of the usual warmth and rapport.
