To me, it doesn't, but whenever I ask for black coffee here in Boston, I
invariably get asked if I want sugar in it. I didn't have this problem in
Chicago.

(On a related note, in a proper Chicago hot dog establishment, ordering a
hot dog with everything properly excludes ketchup. Out here, you ask for
everything, you get ketchup, too. Bleh.)
