Waiter fired over racist receipt should have known slur would be printed:



Dakota, whose father is the restaurant's general manager, joined the staff this February, the former waitress said.


The waiter who wrote the N-word on a New Orleans restaurant receipt knew what he was doing when he unleashed the racial slur that caused intense backlash and calls for boycotts, according to one former coworker.

"I printed those receipts 50 times a day. I know for a fact he knew it would show up on his receipt," a former Huck Finn's waitress told the Daily News. "I was like, are you that hateful that you would put that on the receipt?"

Dakota Crochet, 23, was fired from the French Quarter sports bar this week after the phrase "N----- 100% dislike" appeared on a check he gave to a group of black customers Thursday.

One of the diners, Liryca Neville Branch — the daughter of New Orleans musician Cyril Neville — is now mulling a lawsuit and demanding a personal apology from both the canned waiter and the restaurant’s management.

Seriously, how dumb do you have to be to pull a stunt like this and not expect it to go viral. Everyone now knows who the little douchebag is and it will be difficult for him to get another job. Of course he could always set up a Go Fund Me page and get like minded idiots to send him money.

At least shit has a purpose, fertilizer, whereas this moron doesn't.
Now his picture is plastered in cyberspace and he'll have a very difficult time finding another worthwhile job.

white men and they will be dead soon.
Not! They multiplied and taught their children well

This guy's daddy got him the job. I am sure his daddy will find him another. I am sure he was smug enough to know he would get hired somewhere else by a daddy friend and never has ,or will be-down and out from losing work

5. It is very likely he wanted to be fired

It goes without saying this was the wrong way to go about that goal. It would have been much healthier if he said "Dad, I don't want to do that job."

13. Why a boycott of the place for the act of a single waiter who got fired for it?

Unless there is a history of this at that place that I am not aware of. Is there?

15. What, exactly, is a "cajun burger" and why would it be worth $12 without fries?

And why is it that every time someone pulls this kind of shit, the person who did it looks exactly like the kind of guy who needs a good swirly, right about now?
