Overheard Conversation

I have to over-use the local coffeeshop for internet access while I wait for the planets of Comcast and PODS to align, and while doing so I overheard the following exchange:

Well-Dressed Lady: "By the way, I have some part-time work if you know anyone who needs it."
Shaggy Barista: "I'll keep my ears open.  What kind of work is it?"
WDL: "Mostly floors, starts at $7/hr."
SB: "Actually, you know, a friend of mine is looking for something, I'll let her know."
WDL: "Is she white?"
SB: "Yeah, she is."
WDL: "Ok, good."

Yep, I live in the South.
