After Patrick Antonius shares his lack of love of the modern game with PokerNews, Lee Davy, digs out the Solomon Asch experiments to figure out why players are acting so slow.

A man dressed like Willy Wonka is abusing a Starbucks Barista. Interest in the incident sucks the background noise out of the room; all we can hear is Willy Wonka shouting and screaming, incoherently about something or other.

In the first few minutes, the young Barista faces Wonka alone. She is standing her ground, but it must be an uncomfortable experience for her. 20 customers are staring, including me, and all of us act like we have accidentally stepped into a bullring and have just noticed we are wearing a Manchester United shirt.

Finally, after five minutes of ranting a man stands up to support the Barista and ushers Wonka out of the door. The police show up, and as they pull up to the kerb, more men get to their feet, walk outside and begin berating the man who had overstepped the boundaries of respect.
