Restaurant Defends Server Who Described Customer as 'Fat' and 'Gay' on Receipt



Plush Daiquiri Bar and Grill, a restaurant in Houston. is defending a server who described a customer as a “fat” and “gay” on the customer’s receipt. The customer who received the receipt says he felt offended, telling KTRK: “I don’t even know her, she don’t know me. That’s like stereotyping, for her to not even know and say fat, gay and this and that.”

The restaurant’s owners defended the employee: “It was just her way of describing him. It wasn’t anything against him or anything personal. It was her way of referencing back who to deliver the food to.” They said she didn’t realize he would see it and she was disciplined.

So how does the customer know what to pay and tip if they don't see the receipt? Considering that the server probably gets to order their meal free or at a reduced price and gets to see the receipt, it makes the story from the owner unbelievable.

sensitive towards their customers and calling them this is degrading and uncalled for. There needs to be a price towards language like this...tables usually in a restaurant usually have a number associated with them, so servers can ensure that tickets accurately reflect which order(s) go with each particular table.
