Interesting story of something that happened at Papa John's. Although, I think that the more interesting story is why someone would go to Papa John's in New York CIty.
Woman gets racist receipt
Good question. I guess Panda Express was too busy.*

Here's an idea: Why doesn't Papa John's use numbers on their receipts?
That entire article is just weird.....
It paints Papa Johns in an even worse light with everyone defending the cashier and saying they don't know why it's such a big deal. I'm guessing if a receipt said "n* with the wife beater" it wouldn't be a problem either, since that's just "what they do" there"???
Looks like a play for attention after the Chik-Fil-A scandal. Total copycat.
But seriously, you'd think Papa Johns would have told this franchise not to comment on the situation. Instead they make it worse.
I feel bad, but I did giggle when I saw that receipt.
Something tells me you wouldn't of laughed if you were her Stockard. Being on the receiving end of that kind of ignorance usually feels pretty crappy.
No I'm sure you're right. That's why I feel bad that it made me giggle for a second.

If it makes you feel any better, I spent a year teaching English in rural China. I got called "big nose" almost daily. White ghost, old outsider, and old whitey were all common nicknames the locals used to call me regularly, even when they figured out that I could understand them.
This doesn't excuse the actions of that PJ employee or anything, but I wasn't upset with them because I know there weren't any malicious thoughts or intentions when they used those names. It's human nature to recognize the difference between people moreso than the similarities. That said, I wish certain people could have a similar experience to mine, being on the flip side of the coin.

You know me so well, SOMMS
Tip it, Stockard!
Just "poured" a glass. Although it's not pouring when it comes from a box.
Just squeeze harder.
Their home office is here in Louisville, KY (Where I live) and the story got no press here. I only heard about it b/c it came up on Yahoo news.
