Adventures in cake-buying: a one-act play

Scene: Two days ago at a coffee shop/bakery down the street from me. Morning. The front counter has two cash registers. On the right, I'm buying a cake to bring to a party that night. On the left, a black woman has just ordered a coffee.

Woman: Sometimes, you know, I just like to have a little fun with people.

Cashier: Oh?

Woman: The other day, I was in a coffee shop and a man in front of me ordered ‘a black to go.’ So I jumped into his arms and said, 'Let's go!'
