Papa John's employee gets a little racial
Better ingredients, better
racists? I don't remember buying a topping of racism on my Meat Lover's Pizza.
I do like the founder of Papa
John's, because he's a big time bicyclist. And, I've encountered his Papa
John's Bicycle team while I was riding around Louisville. But, one of his
employees from New York got a little creative with their receipt name.
Minhee Cho came back from Papa
John's and noticed the name on her receipt. From
the Huff Post, ((In it, under the customer's
name section, the restaurant employee who rang up the order used the racial
slur "lady chinky eyes" to describe her. ))
You can't buy that type of
racist...actually you can. Did the employee not think someone would catch that?
It comes across as mean more than anything else. I'd hate to see what has been
left on my receipt (Loser, Forever Alone, Big A-hole).
Cho then proceeded to post it on the “Evil”
Twitter. That was when it caught fire. That happened 11 hours ago.
The store manger sort of made
it worst with her half response. From
the Huff Post (("I apologize," she
said in a phone interview. "I'm sure they didn't mean any harm but some
people will take it offensive." She added that she "had an idea of
who it was," based on the time of the receipt. ))
Uh, using a racial slur pretty
much means you wanted to harm her by belittling her.
Papa John's
did respond to the incident five hour ago on their FB page. ((We were extremely concerned to learn of the receipt issue
in New York. This act goes against our company values, and we've confirmed with
the franchisee that this matter was addressed immediately and that the employee
is being terminated. We are truly sorry for this customer's experience.
))
I put the blame directly on
the employee. In the age of Twitter and Cell Phones, you can't get away with
these dumbass things today. The employee did get fired, so it all ends well.
Except, if I were Cho, I'd ask for those peppers that they put in your pizza
box for free for life.

I always wonder if anyone has ever hooked up by typing "beautiful woman" or whatever on one of those things.
I believe someone has tried it. And, probably got themselves fired.
If a counter girl put that on my paper. I'd be probably talk to her. (Not if she put Beautiful Girl, but good looking guy.
They couldn't just put "red shirt" or "blue skirt" or something instead?
Just goes to show you that racists are idiotic, thinking they can get away with something like that.
With all this instant technology you really can't get away with that nonsense. I think the "Cute Girl" would actually work for some people like MC stated.
But a simple "guy in Superman Shirt" will work as well.
