Reflections on the "Lunch Date"

Why is a wealthy woman taking public transportation or was it Amtrak?

Why does she seem to blame the Black man for making her late for her train when she ran into him?

Was something missing from her purse (like her wallet)? What was she looking for before she went into the diner? Why did she not think about it again or call someone she knew for help?

If she assumes the 2nd Black man is eating her salad, why doesn't she ever ask him where her bags are? It also seems strange that she didn't walk the whole perimeter of tables to look for her belongings (which oddly enough she left unattended).

Why are all the homeless people/beggars depicted as men of color?
