Anybody else getting nervous ordering fast food in this racially tense climate?

Just ordered something from a fast food place with a crew who was exclusively a different race than me. It took longer than one would expect and my paranoia got the better of me.

Anybody think that some Twitter activist might think they're making a statement spitting in an oppressor's food?

I'm just being paranoid, right?

I haven't been nervous, but I do think that I have seen a bit of a shift in the way folks have talked to me when ordering....either they are over-the-top friendly or they don't say much or even make much eye contact. I noticed this last week when the shite was in the news, but things seem to be back to normal now...

Well I am now.

ETA: the notable exception would be chick fil a.

oh hell yeah I think about it. If they see "whitety" coming, you are definitely getting spit, a booger or a nut drag with the bread.

I went to Popeyes for lunch and I was the only white in there with maybe 15 AA workers/customers. I'm not going to lie it was a tense 10 min

I definitely think something is going on. I went to McDonald's and they told me that the shake machine was broken.

Nah, the Latinos and Asians (vast majority of delivery guys here) still work the the dollar bill, at least in NYC
