Papa John’s Employee Calls Woman ‘Lady Chinky Eyes’ on Receipt

Who cares! Good grief. Slow news day!?

Get over it!!!! I would never have been offended. Now rehire that employee back. Just tell him or her to be more careful and ask for a name or assign a number. This was NOT a firable offense. If there is blame, it should go all the way up then. People are WAY too sensitive and those “way too sensitive” people ARE THE PROBLEM. For Pete’s sake. If this person stays fired tell him or her to respond to this email and I’ll give him or her a job with a $1 per hour raise of what he or she was earning before because now I have a “trained” employee who won’t make that mistake again.

A racial slur is a racial slur, even if it wasnt directed against hispanics or blacks. How can you call a customer a racial slur and NOT get fired? Ive heard of people getting fired for far less offensive actions.

lightn up hop sing

PAPA JOHNS “ME SO ANGRY ME HATE YOU LONG TIME” LMFAO

The employer made the right decision and that employee is no longer employed there. What that employee did is no better than the bullying going on in the schools. To some it may not sound like a big deal, but to the woman called that I can understand how it would be.. Are we all supposed to look the same to be accepted? This world is made up of all kinds of nationalities with characteristics symbolic of each. Perhaps this employee would look quite odd if they were to go to a ethnically pure country, due to the hodgepodge mixture that makes up most Americans.

Pehaps next time make thinskin people mad write better story?

I’ll never, EVER buy anything from Papa John’s again. They obviously haven’t sent a clear enough message to their employees that discrimination — of ANY type — will not be tolerated. That means there exists a top-down environment that condones this behavior…or it would not have happened in the first place. Papa John’s has lost my business FOREVER.

Look, all you people telling PapaJohn’s to get over it or to re-hire the employee…if that same person would have used the N-word to describe the customer or called a Mexican something else, that person would be fired on the spot. The employee deserved to be fired.

All you people who say I will NEVER eat at Papa Johns again… seriously, over this?!?! your life must be boring. We have been dealing with this racial BS for CENTURIES!!!!!!! and im sick of it, its nothing but an excuse to hate on everyone these days… people need to grow a friken set and GET OVER IT! what are we all a bunch of cry babies!! we all make mistakes, life is still going to move forward. and yes, we will ALL continue to pick on one another to make ourselves feel that much better….. so piss off and write about something that actually MAKES A DIFFERENCE!!!!!!! Zhank you, Zhank you!!

Ok, so some people have responded and was all, oh they’re being oversensitive. Please. If this was a black slur, it would be blown up across the news.

I’m betting all the people saying “Get over it” are white….

Wow. As always, the responses are a snapshot of present-day America; I’m not feeling very proud. Posted by: Aaron Ververs | January 9, 2012, 8:24 am.

Sadly I’m afraid you are correct. The really pathetic part is, they don’t even realize how or why it’s offensive. As someone else said, it’s a guarantee that the negative responders here are all white, and I’d bet, all guys.

I’m actually glad they fired the employee because he knowingly did something he knew was wrong racial slurs of any race are wrong and should be weeded out it’s like the N word I don’t think anyone should say it no matter what race they are because as long as someone keeps using it, it will only remain within the language, so if you were not wanting that racial slur used in the future then everyone should stop saying it. Now as for papa johns I’ll still eat there because you can’t judge the company on a bad employee if everyone did that all fast food resteraunts would be out of business and america would be a lot healthier for it. Just so you know I’m mixed blood of just about everything but mostly native american so I can gurantee you I have no bias in this argument

I have a problem with a certain driver. Every time she delivers my pizza it is barely warm while the other drivers get it here nearly hot. Not a long drive from the restaurant.

Papa John’s. Better racists. Better discrimination.

I cun’t believe this is a big deal. Yea, I’m white and male, but for God’s sake, let it go.
Actually think it’s kind of funny. Even if the wrote on my check stub: “Wicked Pale Dude”… as long as I got my pizza

Oh so this kind of racism is funny…because it’s against Asian-Americans. But if it had been reversed, and it was a Korean cashier who wrote “nappy head” or “beaner face” y’all would be up in arms, because THAT kind of racism is offensive. GET REAL AMERICA. And for everyone saying it’s funny or it’s no big deal, it might be funny, but only in a casual setting. This is an employee on the job, dealing with a customer. It’s beyond unprofessional and if you really cannot understand that, good luck getting hired.

Last and only time I purchased from Papa John’s was in 2006. I placed an order online, went to pick it up 20 minutes later only to be told my order was received but had not been ‘worked on’. I waited there for another 40 minutes to get my pizza. Now I know maybe it was because I have a last name that looks totally Asian and I appear to be one.

Get over it?? Seriously? If an Asian wrote a white person’s name as ‘Yankee white trash’ I’m pretty sure people wouldn’t be saying ‘get over it’.

re ‘green eyes’ you say at least it wasnt a hispanic or black slur. as if there is no respect for asians and asian americans like myself. i understand many people use slurs and ethnicity no identify people, but for a large corporate nationwide company to place that type of identification onto a reciept that was given to a customer as a confirmation of purchase and business i find that very disrespectful! if you were to go to dinner and had an ethnic server and you spent a pretty penny and on your receipt it said cracker guy or yankee or red neck would you not feel the slightest offended based on your race but also the fact that basically you spent your hard earned money just to be insulted? how dare you say get over it when you must obviously have never been taught respect or just plain common courtesy. a thought train like that makes me think you throw around those types of slurs on a daily basis.

Not everyone in New York is so smart. But Minhee Cho was described as a lady. Just an immature person, now out of a job because the customer did not complain directly to the employee, an action far more caring for an ignorant person. So, because Minhee Cho did not just go to the order taker and say, “Do you realize that this could offend someone?” and leave it at that, I think Minhee, and I want to mention that I am married to an Asian woman, is now better known as “B**ch Chinky Eyes.” Do we understand my point? By the way, “I like to fire people!”

Glad to hear they fired the employee.

I used to work at a Papa John’s and to be completely honest, while not offended, I am a little disgusted at the lack of common courtesy that the employee who put that on the receipt showed. It only takes 6 seconds to type ‘Walk-In” and 10 – 14 seconds to get the customer’s last name and type that in instead of “Walk-In”. Showing common courtesy and manners usually gets repeat business and positive word of mouth from customers to other people. Dumb things like the above only gives the store and the staff a bad name.

Everyone wants to shout “who cares” …that is until its them. Then it becomes an insufferable injustice.

A reprimand would have been in order, but firing someone for one mistake is just silly. If this person wasn’t yet or “is” a racist, all you’re doing is making them remember that the asian made them lose their job heh, nice going there, keep the flames going. i also like how the lady goes and posts this all over the internet, making the entire business look bad and probably affecting the people who had nothing to do with this. Just as improper as it was for the employee to write this, it was just as bad for her to not simply take it up with the manager instead of airing it for all to see.
