A Sanfod, Fla. Papa John’s delivery man was fired after he accidentally called a customer and left a voicemail message that was full of racist remarks.
The delivery man was upset that he got a $5 tip. However, the
customer claims it equaled 21% of the bill (receipt shown above). Said
delivery man accidentally dialed the customer and the phone recorded the
following comments:
“I guess that’s the only requirement for being a ni**er in
Sanford…Yeah, they give me five bucks there — fine outstanding
African-American gentleman of the community,” he added.
The Papa John’s employee also used the n-word repeatedly, even singing it to the tune of “Figaro’s Aria.”
Papa John’s CEO, John Schnatter, released the following statement via Facebook:
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 this company stands. The
employees responsible for this absolutely unacceptable behavior were
immediately terminated.
My heartfelt apology goes out to the customer involved, his
family, and our community at large. I am very sorry that anyone would be
exposed to these hurtful and painful words by any person involved in
any way with our company.
Thank you for your important comments. I have personally reached
out to our customer to share my own thoughts and offer my deepest
apology.
Sincerely,
John Schnatter
Chairman and CEO
