Pizza eatery apologizes after labeling Michigan customers 'White Trash' on receipt

When you place an order for delivery, you want the food to get to you fresh and fast.

However, on Tuesday night, a group of colleagues received a delivery from a Jet’s Pizza in Hamtramck, Michigan, and the bill was not typical. It had a racist receipt attached. On the receipt the customers were labeled as “White Trash.”

WXYZ spoke with one of the customers who posted the receipt on social media.

Jason Charboneau says he’ll never go back to the establishment after the way he and his co-workers were treated.

"It becomes a hurtful thing. It’s like you have no clue what you’re judging me on. Don’t judge. Stop the hate," he says.

WXYZ reached out to Jet’s Corporate Headquarters and received a formal response from the Director of Marketing:

Regarding the incident from last night, as soon as we found out about this situation, we contacted the customer to let her know, that the behavior she experienced is unacceptable and a clear violation of our service standards. We apologized and assured her that we, as a company, do not tolerate this type of behavior, in our stores. We have since made suggestions to managers of this franchise, location, on how to deal with the employee, who caused this regrettable situation.

Jet’s said they will refund the money to the customers who received the hateful receipt and offer them a store credit as well.

The anti-white racism in this country is disheartening.

When did writing on a receipt come into vogue?

Let’s hope that this does not turn out to be a hoax, much like those that we see from the left.

Yeah I never thought of that. Good point. Hope it wasn’t a hoax too.

I would have to see the customers to evaluate the decision to label them as white trash.

It isn’t disheartening. We aren’t snowflakes.

Just vote with your feet and wallets.

That pizza and every pizza received by wyepeepo from now on is suspect for added bodily fluids.

Anti-white racism is a serious problem promoted by the media, academia and the government. Still it is dishearting that someone has complained that they got their fweelings hurt.

Jesse Jackson was proud of the fact that he engaged in this practice. I try not to eat out.

In all honesty and I have good friends in Michigan

Parts of Michigan have a lot of surly unhappy not optimistic white people

It’s weird

It’s too bad because I like my local Jet’s Pizza. Much better than the others around Michigan.

But, then again, I’m up here in RedState country with the rest of the conservative pale-faces.

Eating out is a huge expense

Budget therapists and gurus will kill eating out first along with online purchasing

Customer relationship management systems let you track information from orders and service requests. It is supposed to be notes like food allergies, beware of dog, still uses Windows 7, needs help carrying stuff in.
Instead, you get the bigoted remarks at times where one person thinks that is pertinent information. In other cases, data marketing considers relevant accidentally gets leaked, such as when one marketing company sent out mailers to people and listed “Jewish” on the printouts when that was simply demographic info.

Not really sure where that would be. I lived there for 48 years and don’t recall seeing pockets of surly white people.

I’ll be spending a couple weeks there starting tomorrow and will keep on the lookout.

I'm not quite sure why that description got printed on the receipt, but many pizza delivery places keep records of customer behavior. "Big tipper", "gets angry if it's late", etc.

So maybe "white trash" was just a crude descriptor.

I'd like to go into more detail, but I've got work to do. I've got a car up on blocks in my front yard, and I'm getting it ready for sale.
