Family Angry Over Racial Slur On Receipt From San Francisco Restaurant

By greatbritton


When Whitney Washington and her family decided to take a vacation to San Francisco last week, they were hoping to take in some nice views and visit some fun places. For the most part they did, until they visited a particular restaurant that had the worst customer service possible.

According to KTVU, on August 12, after Washington and her family ordered and received their food from Pica Pica Arepa Kitchen, a Venezuelan restaurant in the Bay Area, the receipt for their order read, “Here n****s.”

Even with the racial slur on their receipt, Washington and her family checked the receipts of other customers to ensure that theirs was the only one that included a racial slur. Washington recalled looking at another receipt and where it said “Here n****s” on hers, it only read “here” on theirs.”

More from KTVU:

Washington said she returned her food, and asked for her money back and an explanation. “I pointed to the ‘here N-word,’ and I said ‘Do you know what this means?’” said Washington. “He didn’t say no, he said ‘I don’t know how that got there.’”

Washington said the employee took the receipt from her, but not before she was able to snap a photo of it. She also said when she asked to see a manager he said there was no manager on duty.

The next day after the incident, the manager of the restaurant notified KTVU that the employee was fired immediately and was shocked to learn that the waiter had no explanation for why they wrote the racial slur.

The waiter allegedly tried to threaten the manager, saying that he was going to sue her. The manager retorted, “But I say, ‘come!’ I have it in writing.”

Local authorities received a police report about the incident, but it’s currently unclear what action will be taken.

Whitney Washington says that regardless of how some people integrate the N word into their daily lexicon, that’s not the case with her family.

“I know some people use that term culturally, interchangeably. That is not a term I use in my home,” Washington said. “I don’t use that word, we don’t call people that word, and nobody calls us that word.”
