I'm walking down Broadway to go to Cosi to get a salad... so I'm walking past 3 homeless men (or they appear to be homeless)- one is in a wheelchair with a cup and the other 2 are in front of him talking then I hear one of 'em say "Yo I saw you walking last week, now you in a wheelchair?!" Man was like "muhfugga, I been in this wheelchair for years, you ain't seen me walking no last damn week!" The other man, adamant about having seen him walking, yells, "Yo muthafugga you lyin' I seen your ass last week shit!" At that point I had to laugh to myself cuz that would be some funny mess if he did see him, it be even funnier if that man stood up outta that wheel chair and hauled off and smacked his ass for messin' up his game to get more money hollerin' shit out like that...
So I get across the street go into Cosi and a guy takes my order.. I smile and say "I'd like a chicken caesar please." He smiles, proceeds to gather up the lettuce, cheese, croutons, chicken, and passes on my salad to a young black girl who then puts dressing on it. Then in the middle of tossing the salad she stops and puts in more chicken I look at her like "you ain't gettin no tip for that extra helping I ain't ask for", then she mumbles... and smiles... "black people like chicken" WHOA! WTF! Are you really black or is David Duke under there? I smirk and say "You didn't just say that right? Black folks ain't genetically predisposed to liking chicken and you shouldn't say stuff like that." She smiles... but with that comment I assume once I got to the "genetically predisposed" part she just assumed I started speaking Swahili...
I mean, really now, I guess she just wakes up thinking about chicken!??? WTF is that?! Ignorance sure does get 'em young b/c she looked no more than 18 years old.. Poor thing, she gonna be workin' in Cosi for a loooong time.... handin' out free chicken to unsuspecting black folks...
