This
is the second butt-dial story I've written about in a week! Is this becoming
the new teacher sex epidemic? I doubt it! Anyway, it seems Papa John's is in
hot water again with their racist ways. Wasn't it last year when one of their
shops wrote "Lady Chinky Eyes" on a customer's receipt to describe
the customer? Well, this time two Papa John's delivery drivers were canned
after accidentally butt-dialing a customer and leaving a racist voicemail. Are
you laughing yet?
The
duo, who remained anonymous and worked at the Sanford outlet in Orlando,
Florida, was heard mocking their customer for not leaving a tip. The offended
customer posted audio of the voice message via YouTube with proof of his
receipt revealing that he actually left a 21% tip. I think it's hilarious that
these drivers can't read! That's why they're pizza delivery drivers! On the
audio, you hear the first man ask, "Did he tip you?" to which the
second man reply, "Nope, not at all." He then replies using the
"N" word, saying that being the "N" word must be the only
requirement to live in Sanford. The first man then replied, "Yeah, they
give me five bucks! They're fine outstanding African American gentleman of the
community." Then they start singing Mozart's "The Marriage of Figaro,"
but repeatedly substituted the actual lyric with the "N" word to
rhyme with Figaro. Not nice!
Papa
John's Chairman and CEO John Schnatter apologized for the incident via the
chain's Facebook page and revealed that two fine young chaps have been fired.
He wrote: "Friends, I am extremely concerned to learn about the
reprehensible language used by two former employees in one of our restaurants.
Their thinking and actions defy both my personal and the company's values, and
everything for which the company stands."
I
have to admit that I'm not sure that I believe you, Mr. Schnatter! Like I
mentioned earlier, last year, one of your employees used racial slurs to
describe an Asian lady and now this? Don't you think maybe being a bit more
thorough with your background checks before hiring, might be able to avoid
situations like this? Besides, how dare these guys even complain about a tip? A
tip is never guaranteed! It's gratuitous! Tips are given at a customer's
discretion. What I don't understand is why do we even need to tip delivery
guys? Not that I don't; I just don't understand the practice. They bring food
to your house so you don't have to go out. It's not like they make the food.
Don't get me wrong, I guess delivery guys are like waiters in a sense, but they
bring the food one way whereas a waiter is constantly back and forth to your
table, so I would say that a waiter is deserving of 15-20%. Why would a
delivery guy think they deserve more than a $5 tip? If that guy gave them a 21%
tip, that was more than generous and those guys should've kept their mouths
shut! Then again, learn how to luck your phones to avoid butt-dials, you
morons!
