MARYLAND HEIGHTS, Mo. A waitress in Maryland Heights, Missouri, is out of a job after she reportedly labeled two of her customers as "black couple" on a restaurant receipt. According to KTVI, Kimberli Wilson and a companion were at Patrick's Westport Grill on July 18 when she saw the words at the top of the bill. ADVERTISING
"I was frustrated," Wilson told KTVI. "I was angry. I was thinking, 'Really? Are we still doing this in 2015?'"

Nope. Still UNCF.
But they avoid spelling it out. Like KFC avoiding “fried” they UNCF it to avoid “negro.”
“Seriously I didnt know black was now offensive.”
It is hard to keep up with. It seems to change daily, sometimes multiple times in a single day.
One time a friend and I were dining at a nice steakhouse.
There was a long wait.
I noticed that the hostess had written "leather and vinyl" on her pad.
She was describing our jackets. Big deal.
For the record my friend was wearing the vinyl jacket.
Maybe he should sue.
whip the waitress...at least 40 lashes!!!!!!!!!!
what a terrible horrible thing she did!!!!
/s
(when will all this BS end? or rather will we survive the next 19 months?
This country is entering the Twilight Zone.
I thought black is beautiful. Guess now hate is beautiful.
Should’ve written fat ass & company and been done with it.
Seems rather absurd to me. If she had used a racial slur, that would be one thing. But I don’t get the sense that’s what was going on here. It shouldn’t have wound up on the receipt, but nobody was “dissing” the couple, that I can tell. More likely just an honest mistake.
Oh yeah, and the owner is a total pansy. If I ate there, I would stop.
I’m surprised my restaurant bills don’t describe me as Anti-social White Boy.
DANG!
What is offensive about that?
Good grief some folks are twitchy!
“Black Couple”? Really?
So what? She could have been thinking they looked like a cute couple, who knows. This is just ignorance run amuk.
better description would be to add "agitators". Merely descriptive, you understand? Not a slur at all-
/s
I am not 100% sure that you got my obviously too-subtle joke.
Are they yellow? No?
Are they white? Are they black?
Then I would give the proprietor a swift kick in the ass for being so stupid in the first place.
Hint: if these patrons were to commit a crime, what would the descriptive noun be?
Why can’t people develop a code?
Black Couple = B2
Grifters table 5 ......
“Negro” is Spanish for “black”. What if it were a Hispanic waitress writing “la pareja negro” ? The Communists would not know WHAT to do next!!! /s ;)
Hell of a way to get out of leaving a tip
“Youths”
In any restaurant where the descriptive "black couple" is significantly identifying and yet something which the management would flee from, I'd wager "uppity a-holes" would not be definitive enough.
