Pizza worker fired after racial slur

Pizza delivery chain Papa Johns has apologised to a customer in New York City and fired one of their employees after they added a racial slur to a Korean American customer's receipt:The company - whose website has just made this blogger hungry - is naturally grovelling to the customer, who posted the image on Twitter - leading to an influx of so many people trying to order Chinese food from the company that it affected their business.

In a post on the company's Facebook page they said:

"We were extremely concerned to learn of the receipt issue in New York.

This act goes against our company values, and we've confirmed with the franchisee that this matter was addressed immediately."

A reporter from the New York Daily News spoke to a manager at the franchise though who said that such terms were often used to identify customers and that they meant no harm - shocking!
