From International Business Times, US: Papa John’s Pizza, amid much Twitter outrage, fired a cashier at one of its New York City locations and apologized via social media to an Asian-American customer for a receipt that used a racial slur to identify her on Friday.
Minhee Cho, a communications manager at nonprofit investigative journalism group ProPublica, made an order on Friday night at the Papa John’s on Broadway in Manhattan’s Hamilton Heights neighborhood, and the receipt she received called her “lady chinky eyes.” The next morning, Cho posted a photo of the receipt on her Twitter account. By the afternoon, it was picked up by a local newspaper, and then went viral, according to CNN.com.
Along with the receipt, Cho tweeted, “Hey @PapaJohns just FYI my name isn’t ‘lady chinky eyes.’”
