Y'all obviously don't know the jokes in the service industry. It's very common to refer to black customers by their stereotypical drink.
Server: you sat table 22?
Hostess: yea.They ordered grape soda. Sorry. Haha.
Server: sigh.
Same goes for pizza delivery.
It's no different than Canadian, Democrat or Monday. It's real and bad when caught.
