QuoteShe ordered a small pepperoni pie — and got a side of racism.

Minhee Cho, 24, was shocked when she learned she had been described by a Papa John's employee as "lady chinky eyes."

The public relations rep spotted the disparaging phrase on her receipt Saturday a day after visiting a Hamilton Heights branch of the popular pizzeria.

"Hey @PapaJohns just FYI my name isn't 'lady chinky eyes,'" Cho tweeted, along with the an image of the offensive receipt.

"I was very surprised because the lady that was serving me was super nice and we joked and it seemed super normal," said Cho, an uptown resident.

Papa John's tweeted Saturday evening that the employee is being  axed.

"We are very upset by recent receipt issue in New York & sincerely apologize to our customer. Franchise employee involved is being terminated," the tweet said.

When reached earlier by the Daily News, a Papa John's assistant manager said she was certain her employees didn't mean to offend the customer.

"I apologize. They're not bad people," she said. "I've seen the receipt and I don't know why they wrote that but I'm sure they didn't mean to offend her in any way."

The owner of the store, Ronald Johnson, said that he was shocked over the incident and planned on having sensitivity trainings to make sure nothing similar ever happened again.

"It's just wrong," he said. "I was shocked and I was very, very upset about it."

He added that the employee responsible for the receipt was a teen — who he believed was misguided by "hip hop culture."

"It's unfortunate, but this is the modern culture that they're involved in," he said.

Cho said she posted the receipt on the internet to show her friends and shame Papa John's.

"I wasn't super angry about it," she said. "I (just) can't believe this happened in this day and age."

Even so, that's probably the last time she'll order from the chain pizzeria.

"Some of the tweets I've gotten back are, 'Why are you going to Papa John's when you live in New York City?'" she said.

Also to make sure we get the point - they included an image.

When I lived there, I found "American" food like steaks with shrimps on top, clam chowder, bagles (we had this utterly awesome place right across the street), burgers, texmex food, hero sandwiches, Coldstone icecream, cheesecake etc. all much more a thing to remember than the pizza, which was nothing special and sometimes rather on the nasty side because it was too fatty.

Maybe I just went to the wrong places, but there were some that were supposed to be good according to locals. In general the Italian food in New York was a disappointing which is strange because there are so many Italians there. I even went to some of the places with a proud Italo-American, but still.

Maybe I think it's crass to comment on what people look like.

But if it pleases you, she's all right, I'd fuck her chinky face in.  And I'd eat Papa John's afterwards.  "Olives, olives, olives--yeah, that's triple olives.  Jalapenos."

there's fatty and then there's greasy. Don't think i've ever patted down a slice, but there are times when i'll eat just one slice not to be a dick and then pass on the seconds.

The best pizza I ever tasted, and in fact the pizza ranked consistently near the very top in NYC, is quite greasy-looking, especially right after it comes out of the oven.  It's not just fat from cheese, it's also olive oil.  Good plain pizza will not taste greasy, the tomato paste should neutralize the taste of greasiness.

I know.  I have no idea how they got there, but I have two theories.

1: Papa Johns fucked up and credited me $315 worth of points (that is, the amount you have to spend to get them).

2: Korea is lazy and has been using my pizza account to order $315 worth of pizza for herself and her wretched friends.  In which case, they do belong to me; and Korea is possibly way fat again, as she has historically not adhered to my proven methods.

3: I've eaten like a king and have simply failed to notice the accrual of points (least likely, since I do check them; and I've been eating Pizza Hut for their more convenient location, crunchier crust, use of red onions instead of white, and sometimes-lower prices; and I cut down to fewer than two pizzas a month in pursuit of austerity).

But the point is, free is free.  And if 2 is true, ha ha!

Whilst a teenage I used to work in a reasonably 'authentic' pizzeria, the main chef came from a central northern city I forget, used to make these margarita pizza which in no way could be described as greasy and didn't seem to have any olive oil, but still the best pizza I've tasted, hard to describe, somewhat thin, watery tomato sauce, and rather underdone by today's 'fire them to black for the authentic look' trend, but I'd still kill for one of those pizzas.

Name.  It is unadorned, therefore plain.

A plain hot dog would have no mustard, chili, relish.

A plain donut would have no gross jelly filling (and arguably may not have sugar drizzled upon its surface).

A plain potato chip is not dusted with the essence of ranch or barbecue.

I meant centre of northern iIaly. 

iirc the huge bone of contention in the restaurant was between him and the sicilian manager, who according to the chef insisted on putting garlic in absolutely everything; italians going to war over food issues.  :D

One of the best meals I have ever had was at an Italian resturant in the middle of nowhere in the central Italian countryside where I witnessed the head waiter, one of the Chefs and our waiter having a rather heated argument over how to best plate one of our courses.  Gotta love people who are that passionate about their food.

iirc the huge bone of contention in the restaurant was between him and the sicilian manager, who according to the chef insisted on putting garlic in absolutely everything; italians going to war over food issues.  :D

One of the best meals I have ever had was at an Italian resturant in the middle of nowhere in the central Italian countryside where I witnessed the head waiter, one of the Chefs and our waiter having a rather heated argument over how to best plate one of our courses.  Gotta love people who are that passionate about their food.

Yes, gotta agree and this wasn't one of those fake foodies fights/issues we get over here now, this was about fundamentally different food philosophies.  :)

Fuck, I'm ordering a pizza pie for dinner, all because of this thread.  In honor of our squeemish German friend, it's going to be pretty greasy on top.  :)

Yeah, this topic is damn annoying, I've already eaten, but now I'd kill for a pizza.  :mad:

Mine's okay.

Although I think the free ones might be leftovers. :lol:

I remember seeing this on CNN.com and foolishly read some of the comments.  I saw one where some guy was raving against "political correctness".  I was thinking that most people don't want to be insulted when they buy something.  I don't think that's to much to ask.

The last time I got something from Papa Johns, was a pick up order.  We came in had to sit for a half an hour and listen to the staff recount to one another the various vermin they had killed on the premise (some of which was still lying around), until someone who knew how to read walked in and discovered that our Pizza had been sitting there the whole time.  Raz: Under impressed.

It used to be good, but then it expanded too much.  No chain that large can possibly be good (anymore).  I'm increasingly concerned about Five Guys.

Languish, are we so sadly aged that the quality of the pizza is more significant to us than the quality of the chinky-eyed lady?  :(

The yearbook thread went nowhere.  I think that answers your question.

Yearbook chick was flat-chested, and as for the Oriental pizza chick,

A)  You really can't tell much about here from the picture that was posted except that she's got a chubby face, and'

B)  Not all of us have yellow fever.

Oh, please.  There are no doubt twenty million Americans as attractive.  Good gravy, I've probably personally seen 20,000 women in roughly the same ballpark or better.

And I don't even get out much.

Her face doesn't seem that chubby, and I don't have yellow fever.  I do have lower standards perhaps.

She's certainly more attractive than that chick you went gaga over in Jacob's thread.

Based on limited anecdotal evidence, Papa John's seems to enjoy an outsized reputation in the South.   :hmm:  Also, what is it with the South and hippie pizza?  That seems to be the main alternative to chain pizza, Mellow Mushroom and its kin.

I don't understand.  Why is there a need to put the customer's name in the receipt?  Most of the time, the stores will assign a number to each order.

Easier for customers to remember their name than some random number.
