Papa John's Employee Calls Woman 'Lady Chinky Eyes' on Receipt




Papa John's has apologized after an employee typed a racial slur on a receipt to a customer Friday at one of its locations in New York City.

Minhee Cho posted an image of the receipt on Twitter, which called her "lady chinky eyes."

"Hey @ PapaJohns just FYI my name isn't 'lady chinky eyes,'" Cho tweeted.

The image went viral, and many tweeted complaints to Papa John's, such as "Your employees are your brand."

employee decides to get "cute" by entering something insulting for the customer's name. What kind of mindset is it where they think they have a chance of getting away with it?

This a where a group like Anonymous is perfectly suited, as far as publicly outing and shaming the cretin.

They've caught a lot of "danglers" on the subways (idiots who whip out their member with a goal of shocking people, for their own odd gratification) with cellphone cameras.

Based on the reaction others have had to slurs printed on receipts you'd think those who swim in the shallow end of Earth's gene pool would've learned something by now.

It's going to be tough for that guy to find a different job.

Let's hope!
