The magazine editor had never really trained her Warby Parker eyeglasses on the contraptions. 'I lost a lot of coins,' confesses Ms. Caporimo, who didn't even know how to work a pay phone before Tuesday."

I think the most shocking thing here is that there are pay phones in New York that take in $2 whole dollars a day.
About two months ago I had to use a pay phone in Chinatown and none of them took coins. You had to go buy some bullshit $10 calling card. Nuts to that.
/I never did make the call.
Haha they made some poor WSJ hedcut artist draw a pay phone.
