A Colorful Outburst
Movie Theater | Right

(At the box office, cashiers are required to repeat the name of the movie to the customer. This policy is now defunct because of the following exchange:)
Customer: “I want two for For Colored Girls.”
Me: *ringing it in* “All right, that’s two for For Colored Girls.”
(The customer then exploded into a twenty-minute tirade about how I, a white man, used the word ‘colored’ in front of her.)
