Were you blasting Skynyrd?
Are there bumper stickers on your truck that say “Hillary for Jail”?
Tell me about the t shirt you were wearing.
You were sending out some kind of vibe. This didn’t just happen out of the blue.

It seemed you wanted to tell a slightly theatric story and not purely nuts and bolts. So it’s hard to gauge what went down but.... seems a good chance of a couple options
1) you walked in right after something happened and folks were tense or the last driver was awful, or maybe was a good friend that got fired and you replaced him- you took it personal and became standoffish. While you complain about their escalating- you were right there with them.
2) you seemed to be very noticing of race dynamics and perhaps one of your friendly greetings came across condescending (not implying it was this bad but for easy example - use a lot of “boy” or “brotha” while rolling through the front lines... or something more subtle probably because I’m hoping you know better than to be that bad)
Whatever the cause it’s clear you felt a bit outsider rolling in and instead of ordering the coffee and playing nice you decided to escalate and use the restroom without ordering..... metaphorically speaking. They weren’t right but neither were you.
