A dark Toyota sedan rolls up to Globe headquarters in Dorchester at 6:15 p.m. Thursday. I’m awaiting a Jalapeno Lemonade delivery, which sounds refreshing on such an unseasonably warm winter day.

The driver gets out, checks my ID to verify I’m 21 or older, and pops his trunk.

He hands me a Tazo black tea lemonade.
