What's The Connection? Operator

Good luck explaining the cover to anyone under forty. Human telephone operators are basically gone, and the kind who could work a room and talk a stranger into a drink are not far behind. Even operators in the picking up people in bars sense are not really a thing anymore, are they? The Connection we make nowadays is probably by text or swiping one direction or another. I am not out there, so I have no idea which direction. Maybe you can tell me. Nobody gets put on hold anymore? They're just ghosted?
