Two Smoothie King stores in Charlotte, N.C., have been closed until further notice after racial slurs were allegedly added to customers’ receipts.
The incidents reportedly took place at two different Smoothie King stores within hours of each other on Sunday.
The first incident allegedly happened around 2:30 pm, according to a photo of the receipt that was shared on social media. In the photo, the N-word is written as the customer name.
“I thought it was very disrespectful," Calvin Caldwell, the customer who received the receipt with the racial slur told WSOC-TV. "I thought it was very rude, especially since I'm a paying customer, and I'm a loyal customer because I come to Smoothie King often. I thought it was in bad taste and completely inappropriate to use that kind of language."
The second incident occurred at 6:15 pm Sunday evening to customer Tony Choi, who wrote about the experience on Facebook, the Miami Herald reported.
“I was just in this Smoothie King with my kids. Instead of asking for my name. Zack H. thought it would be funny to put ‘Jackie Chan’ as my name. Being Korean, I find this very insulting. But the 3 employees working there at the time couldn’t stop laughing about it,” the post read.

Hoax.
It’s amazing what makes the “news” these days.
Evil white people?
I’m sure they could hire better peeps if they paid $15 an hour. /s
Maybe I should start asking for my receipts, to see what gag names for me they put down on them.
I’m thinking maybe “Fatso” or “Jerkface” or who knows?
Was Jussie Smollett the customer?
Unless it is typed on the receipt, in same typeface and ink, I’m going with hoax.
Anyone who doesn’t gouge their own eyeballs out in fevered outrage over this is a racist.
The incidents reportedly took place at two different Smoothie King stores within hours of each other on Sunday. .......................... This smells like a week old dead fish in a garage.
Sorry, I’m not buying it. Two different employees at two different stores decided to pull the same stunt within hours of each other?
Doesn’t pass the smell test. Hoax until proven otherwise.
Sounds real; just some idiot kids, though - not a store policy of racism.
Notice though the Jackie Chan receipt says duplicate
And would even an idiot kid be syupud enough to print out a receipt to give to a customer with the N word on it?
Interesting. The receipts look unaltered and I suppose the store would have looked at the computer or the copy before firing the two employees.
But how on earth did these two different offended customers of two different stores manage to find each other so quickly?
Possibilities:
1. The online posting is photoshopped. Seems unlikely given reaction of store. But possible
2. One aggrieved customer posted his receipt and others saw it, looked at their receipt and one of them found the other offensive reference. This would seem highly unlikely unless morons at these stores think this is funny and do it all the time.
3. The two employees set the whole thing up. UNlikely but it would explain how the two receipts found each other.
If they had written “cracker,” “whitebread” or “anglo” there would not be any international incident. Instead, the White customer would be told to go pound sand.
Good points!
