Papa John\u2019s is apologizing after a New York franchise handed a customer a receipt with a racial slur. Minhee Cho had ordered a small pepperoni pie Friday night, when she noticed the offensive missive sprawled on the receipt.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Angered by the employee\u2019s racism, Cho tweeted at Papa John\u2019s, sending them a photo of the receipt in question.<\/p>\n

\u201cHey @PapaJohns just FYI my name isn\u2019t \u2018lady chinky eyes,\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

The tweet soon went viral and the picture has been viewed hundreds of thousands of times<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Embarrassed by the incident, Papa John\u2019s apologized via Facebook and Twitter:<\/p>\n

We were extremely concerned to learn of the receipt issue in New York. This act goes against our company values, and we\u2019ve confirmed with the franchisee that this matter was addressed immediately and that the employee is being terminated. We are truly sorry for this customer\u2019s experience.<\/p>\n

This is the second incident involving Asian-American targeted racism to occur at a Fast Food restaurant in recent weeks. In December, a Chick-fil-A in Irvine, California gave two Asian-American students receipts with the terms \u201cChing\u201d and \u201cChong\u201d.<\/p>\n

What decade are we in? Disturbing that the younger generation still continues to make racial insults toward Asians. Minhee Cho needs a lifetime supply of free food from Papa Johns!<\/strong>
