This was a fluke, Wary. A private comment and it was even a clumsy compliment, but a cellphone mishap got it sent out. If I wasn’t hotwired to Kneejerk City (aka Hell) I’d have stated that isn’t Papa John policy and that everyone has been warned about it... then warn everyone to be careful, but keep the fellow on the delivery (maybe at some other Papa John location).
It may have been an accident, or even a fluke, but not one bit of it was complimentary. Those comments coming out of the racist’s mouth cost Papa John’s money. That company will be paying through the nose trying to buy their goodwill back. The racist will either learn from this or continue suffer from his mistakes. If it were just him suffering it would not matter. But it is unfortunate that an entire company will have to pay for his antics. Bless his non existent mind.
I’d fire him in a heartbeat. There is no way any sane person would have him work with customers ever again. Because he does not have the mental capacity to handle the work.
Why the delivery guy would bitch, or go on some racist rant makes no sense.
Maybe he was talking about some other customer, I don't know.
Not excusing it, just wondering about the circumstances.
For the record, the WORST tippers are rich white people in nice houses.
One lady said I could "keep the change" on a 17.74 order when she gave me $18.
I started digging in my pockets for her 26 cents.
"Boy, you're kind of picky, MOST people love to get a tip."
Ma'am, you obviously need this more than I do.
Slam!
And for the record, pizza guys have LONG memories, and we know who the stiffers are. As well as the good tippers.
Amazing how good tipper's pizzas go to the top of the pile.
The transcript of the cellphone mishap as you call it. I don’t think you listened to the whole thing before calling it a clumsy compliment. This is a racist rant.
“You back??”
“Yea!”
“Did he tip you?”
“Nope, not at all”
“I guess that’s the only requirement for being a Nigger in Sanford. Yea.. They give me five bucks there-fine outstanding African American gentleman of the community”
(Laughs..getting closer)
“Well just tip me this f***kin Nigger. I’m like singing opera all the way home. I was like. “Niggaaaa....Nigga. Nigga-ro! Nigga-ro! Niiiiiigggggggaaaaaaa-roooooooooo!”
(Laughs again) ...”Oh my God...”
“I got another Nigger song too. It’s an old one. It’s an instrumental but I put words to it, and its “Nigga-nig Nigga-nig Nigga-nig (laughs again) Nigga-nig Nigga-a-Nigger! F*ckin F*ckin F*ckin a Nig-a Nigger! (Keeps going) Nigga-nig Nigga-nig Nigga-nig (laughs again) Nigga-nig Nigger-a-Nigger! F*ckin F*ckin F*ckin a Nig-a Nigger! (Keeps going, coworkers laughing) Nigga-nig Nigga-nig Nigga-nig (really laughing now) Nigga-nig Nigga-a-Nigger! F*ckin F*ckin F*ckin a Nig-a Nigger! (Finale) F*ck F*ck F*ck the Nigger! He is one real big f*cking Nigger. Sometimes you need a two person for that (everyone bursts out in laughter).”
“Was this a big order, really far away, and was he really black?”
“Yea. Yea. So black that f*cking fire flies follow him around in the daytime. (everyone laughs)”
“Oh my God. Wow. So Black...Fire flies...”
“Really f*cking stupid”
