Con-Ed office on 125 St. Harlem in the mid 90s
Standing in a line when two middle aged “sistahs” appeared to want to cut the line behind me, but in front of a 30 something white, well dressed woman.

After I finished my business and turned to leave I just smiled and shook my head at the young lady now between the two “sistahs” who were tag teaming their harangue.
