6. It depends on the context..In this case its a slur
and you should be insulted if somebody puts "gay couple" on your receipt also.

Whats the purpose of trying to identify or classify people? Whats the difference between a "jew couple" and any other couple in the restaurant? and how do they know they are Jews without asking?

When I read that it was not how they worded the check that bothered me, but the fact that they worded it at all
