Wow I'm glad she took the food back, who knows how it was prepared?

[joshuastanton]

Shout out to that manager for standing up! Most would be happy to plead ignorance.

[ScottForrest]

Ignorance can be fixed. Stupidity is forever.

I’m glad she took a picture of the receipt and got her refund back because whoever made her food might have done some messed up stuff to it.

[marygiordano]

This was absolutely disgusting but you gotta love this manager. I wish there were more people in the world like her😊

[aperxmim]

I am glad the family took a snapshot of the receipt DO NOT throw it away later on, keep it.

[Solofemaletravelexplorer]

Imagine what was being done to the food. Doesn’t bear thinking about.

This is why Black Americans need to stop calling each other the N word. How can you expect people to respect us if we don't respect ourselves.

Let's hope the restaurant is not blamed, it was the employee who had written that!

Good for the manager for firing the employee immediately and for not making any excuses for his actions! It's 2024 and NO ONE should ever be subjected to any racist comments! And if the ex-employee wrote a racial slur on a receipt, he has absolutely used that word in his daily life comfortably. Hope the loser enjoys unemployment!

Scary. There are cooks in the back of restaurants at places that hate people for whatever reason. We stay home for 99.9% of meals.

Good for her standing up for herself and good on the manager for handling it.

[errolneal]

That manager was not playing 😂. Good for her. Decisive action is best otherwise you risk tarnishing your brand.

[daisybradley]

The manager who fired the employee appears genuinely angry and shaken over the incident. I hope the victim doesn’t take it out on the restaurant.

[battleaxe.]

NOT surprised that this happened in the Bay Area. But, at least the owner terminated him immediately!🤔👈🏾

[sandrak.robbins]

So glad that the manager immediately took care of this. These things need to be handled right away. I am so sorry that that family had to experience that.

*He was probably a teenager. Wonder how he was able to manipulate the receipt like that .. Don't they come out automatically ... ?*

[keithcourson]

Well, I for one am traumatized to my core by this story. I need to go find my safe space now.

The manager handled the situation well. That was bold of this employee to do that.
