Yet more racist restaurant receipts, this time with a repuke connection.

I'm shocked, I tell you. Shocked!

http://blogs.ocweekly.com/stickaforkinit/2012/02/mcstinkynigger_landmark_steakh.php

A federal lawsuit filed by a successful African-American businessman against a Newport Beach steakhouse that repeatedly listed him on credit card receipts as "McStinkyNigger," "McNigShit" and "McCottonwood" has been mutually dismissed, according to records at Ronald Reagan Federal Courthouse in Orange County....

A customer during dozens and dozens of visits, McHenry had considered the restaurant enjoyable, took friends there and was a generous tipper. After one visit he returned home, saw an inflammatory receipt and discovered older receipts were similarly despicable. When confronted, restaurant employees including manager Dustin Caratello repeatedly apologized and attempted to downplay the bigotry, according to court records....

At the time of the McHenry incidents, the Orange County Young Republicans chose Landmark Steakhouse as their "favorite spot" for monthly drink mixers.

Just weeks after McHenry filed his lawsuit, an elected member of the Orange County Republican Party emailed fellow Republicans a doctored photograph of Barack Obama that portrayed the president and his parents as chimpanzees.




Doesn't anyone in accounting look over those receipts? Or don't they give a shit?

How would you like it if your receipt said "redneck cracker" or "mcfatty lardass"? Would you even begin to wonder what sort of other mean nasty things they did while serving you?

They don't even try to hide their hate anymore.
This kind of thing makes me want to hurt somebody
