Red Lobster Worker Suspended After Posting Racist Receipt

A Red Lobster waitress in Nashville, Tennessee, was suspended with full pay after posting a racist receipt online which was left to her by customers. Scrawled on the “Tip” and “Total” lines were the words “none Ni**er.”

Toni Jenkins found the receipt after she served a couple in their mid 20s at the Nashville restaurant on Saturday afternoon. She posted the receipt to Facebook to raise “awareness” of racism in the state.

The couple was “extremely rude, but I introduced myself to them and they didn’t respond. When I came to take their order they simply told me they wanted their food and to put everything in a to-go box. I offered them dessert but they told me abruptly that they just wanted the check,” Jenkins told the Daily Mail. When she returned, they’d departed and left the receipt with the slur on the table.

Jenkins show the receipt to her manager who told her she didn’t deserve the abuse. However, the restaurant suspended her with full pay after she shared the bill on her Facebook.
