No Tip Please
PG was paying for dinner, when a cafeteria worker made a tacky comment to the cashier. When the worker left, PG and the cashier exchanged looks that said, in effect, that guy is an idiot.
The cashier started to ramble, and she told a story of how she called someone hon. This is something that people in the south do, when they don’t say sweetie or sugar, they say hon, which is short for honey.
So, the cashier said hon to someone, and the person was amazed. This person…PG does not recall the gender…said that they had never heard a black person say that. They thought that was how white people talk. The cashier asked,” how do white people talk”?
PG replied, “too much”.
