And remember that the store also has food ordering at the back end, 
accounting, paying employees, filing taxes, cleaning the floors, predicting 
how much food needs to be ordered, etc. *that* is where the modularity comes 
in, and the OO, even more than just "buying food". A program that only deals 
with one kind of interaction is like a database with only one primary key.
