Co-op Cafe You are seated in an ill-formed circle, including a few people cross-legged on the floor, massaging each other. Your menu is an agenda with announcements, clarifying questions, and proposals. The group has to achieve consensus about what to eat and how to share it. When you decide what you want, elect someone to perform the task of ordering. Then the waitstaff tells you to make yourself at home in the kitchen and be sure to use a calculator when you tally your check, because large groups make for bad math.
