We need to start checking our pizza receipts now?
http://consumerist.com/2010/08/dominos-delivers-racism-to-your-front-door-in-under-30-minutes.html

"A woman in Apex, NC, had just taken delivery of two Domino's pizzas when her 10-year-old niece pointed out the words "N**GER" and "DON'T TIP" at the bottom of the receipt.

Not exactly thrilled with this level of customer disservice, she complained to the Domino's and the driver was subsequently given the boot. Which might explain why she's now received over a dozen threatening phone calls."

To the manager's credit, he fired the guy and profusely apologized.

This s***'s got to STOP.

3. wow.
nice to hear that the mgr. was having none of it.

as a former "tipped" employee, i can personally attest to the fact that people of every race, color and creed stiff waitstaff--for a variety of reasons. most of what i've observed (in and out of restaurants, on-line and off), it's more about the individual, than it is about the quality of the service (or lack thereof).

what's unfortunate, is that too many feel the need to allow a few, to create their reality. they stereotype entire groups, based on the behavior of the few they've encountered in their life.

sadder still, is that i live in a society that still uses such slurs in 2010.
