Don't assume she was Black, it doesn't really matter the waitress race she should have known better.

BodyDouble - they took the food home, it was carry out, there was no waitress, the "hostess" served them. Nice try though.

Cha told the New York Times he was so distraught that he lost his appetite and, when he got home, threw the food away.

Guys it is flat out ugly. I admit, I laughed when I saw it because it so outragoeus that your eyes sort start out of your head. Frankly it would be funny if people meant these things in a kidding way and were looser about how we all deal with each other. But the fact of the matter is that this was an ugly incident and it was cruel thing to do to a customer whatever race. What if it had be a dorky awkward white guy who exemplifiies a geeky nerd...and the hostess put "Nerd" on the customer line. It would be a cruel and hurtful thing to read that on your ticket and it doubles the indignity when you realize this was a PAYING customer. The employee should have resigned or been fired and Hooters should apologize on behalf of the restaurant for the ugly behavior of the employee and give the guy a $500 or $1000 gift voucher. Suing is over the top but the guy is out of work, angry and this is America. Nasty little incident indeed.

I guess they don't realize that mostly men go there, that's in order to see young girls dress in skimmy out fits. A place I won't want to be.

I just got to cry for those poor chicken wings sitting in the trash.

Why would anyone go to Hooters for take out anyway? Isn't the concept is to go stare and dumb girls with big boobs?

New Gawker

Yeah more men go there but I saw a lady bring in a kids soccer team a couple times. Her daughters soccer team!!!!

Many people treat Hooters as just a sports bar the "hooters" are just part of it.

They do have pretty good wings too, we get them take out for the office.

Wasn't this on here just a few weeks ago?? I was thinking it was at a different location though. Anyway. I agree with Xina.

Allow me, as an unbiased onlooker, to referee the argument between IXLR8 & BodyDouble.

BodyDouble, Uhhh...You got knocked the F*** OUT DUDE !!

But thank you for playing.

Wasn't this on here just a few weeks ago?

This isn't the first time I've seen a story repeated on msnbc or 'nbcnews' before.

HOOTERS doesn't have any money anyways..

That's kind of stupid. OMG its an Asian. Yes people, there are Asians here in the U.S. Some bimbo waitress thought it was funny for some reason. Still if I we're a judge I would not award the lawsuit. He lost his appetite, so Hooters can refund him for his food. That's about all they own him.

Thats the dumnest comment i have seen the grave digger,what the hell does that have to do with story.By the way some of your best food and drinks come from ma and pa resturants and lounges.And what would i care if the owners are making money or not.As long as i like the place or the entertainment thats all that should matter.People like you think about things like that,that is none of your business,dont go if you dont like it,bottom line.

Xina the Awesome, you said "why sue?? You must have missed the part that said the customer was unemployed.

No company can constantly and completely control what their employees do during the time that they are at work. The issue policy on how their employees are expected to behave and then it is up to those employees to obey or be fired. If it is written in Hooter's policy that employees refer to Asian clients as Chinx, they this man has grounds to sue Hooters, if not, then he can only go after the employee who wrote it.

not the employers fault, it's the dumb 17 year old broad and her skanky cohort.

Sorry, an employer is responsible for the actions of its employees. Had the waitress punched him, would Hooters be held responsible? Of course. Now a racial slur may not be worth a huge sum, but the restaurant is responsible.

Jeez...wake up people, the lawsuit was filed by a sleazy attorney hoping to cash in and make easy money. The offended person will get only a little, this is a scum bag attorney lawsuit, nothing more...and BTW my grandparents were German and often referred to as "Krauts", so what! Entire country is sinking into a pathetic morass of low life lawyer suits over perceived slurs. Wake up America!

when servers are taught on how to memorize who gets what they are told to associate something with the party. what made this guy so sick he couldnt eat? how much u wanna bet he ate the food and knew he was going to nail the chain. sorry but different races have different names for others and it happens all the time. do u think maybe he has said a few choice references to whites? or blacks? or other asians? Get some skin people. a few words aren't going to hurt anyone. take the apology, you got the girl fired, and get a job.

Some of the above comments are totally ridiculous. You stupes really think that only unemployed people sue? YOU'RE the ones who have to get out more.

I see they fit right into American customs---- got a lawyer --going to sue .

IXL......Just because the word Shanika is on the printed receipt does it indicate that that person is black. Plus you have just compounded the matter by showing that you are judgemental, making assumptions and may even be racist to boot as noted by your insulting followup comments.

By the way the colour/ethnicity group of the 2 employees were not mentioned in the article.

We all have prejudices and dislikes, no matter which ethnic/colour/racial group we may think or like to believe that we are from.

Peace...

TheGraveDigger:HOOTERS doesn't have any money anyways..

It depends where you are looking. Look between the hoot!!

Panhead, you are an @!$%# just for posting.

manns1963, Shanika was on the receipt next to Chinx as the server name. Server 220. Scroll up and open your eyes. This is the sister of Shaquanda.......

How many millions of dollars will be required to repair the feelings hurt by being called a name and laughed at...?

It amazes me that when someone needs a buck they run down to their favorite ATM sorry business and withdraw a chunk of change, of course the Lawyer gets at least 25% as a service fee, if we as a nation fix the rate at say $10.00 a transaction this s#it would go away. the guy coming from Korea learned the American way fast, Just what is a unemployment technology specialist and why did we have to go to Korea to find one, what are they good at,how much money is that worth? He got upset his feelings were hurt, he threw away $20.00 worth of food, he did not have to do that it was his action so give him $30.00 and call it even, what is this world coming to, you know if a lawyer is involved its going to be big bucks that will cost all of us and we were not even in the same city let alone the same Hooters whichby the way is already way over priced. screw Hooters, screw the girl with the black stripper name, and screw the Chinx (by the way that is spelled with a "K". I'm going to find something worth while. the only thing here is a case of misspelling.

OOOoooh what TERRIBLE times we live in...
...when bruts can go around calling people names!

Perhaps you should have simply written on the receipt,
"I'm not paying this bill YOU... MR. POOPIE PANTS!!"
then hand the receipt back to him!

I am glad the Korean guy is calling the waitress and the Breastaurant on this lewd behavior by progressing through with his lawsuit. NOBODY goes to a restaurant to be hassled. The promise of free chiggen wings on their next visit does not set the offending employees straight on the issue. It does not matter who thinks what about anyone. It is High Time you all behaved yourselves.

And, for those of you attempting to make the point... Who the hell else names their kid "Shenika" than the "you-know-whats"...! You KNOW who I'm talking about.

One more time: Apparently that "E Pluribus Unum" thing isn't working out for some of you "real" Americans, huh? "One Nation Under God" myass. Who's god? Sick is what this country is, from the inside out. Maybe beyond repair. Sawyer... You "also think they are Ameicans?" Give it up, pal. You can't even spell it. And unless you're of Native American decent, WE'RE ALL IMMIGRANTS HERE, PILGRIM!!!

WhistleBerries... Does it hurt your ears when you try to pull your head out? Just wondering. No fun being insulted when the ball is in your court, is it? Ignoramus.

At least they didn't call them ying yangs

I'm not a chink and I'm offended. My day is ruined. I can already tell that it will be a sleepless night and if sleep does come it will likely be filled with nightmares. Oh, the horror! A slur! My life can't go on unless I am made whole. Couple hundred thou should do it. Well, maybe. It could take more. Suddenly I am getting a migraine. Oh, the pain of the SLUR! UHOH, there goes my appetite. I'll just have to throw away these wings. Gee, and I'm only part hunk, mik, and frog.

Americans just can't wait to be offended

."Gee, we're sorry, how about some free chicken wings to make up for it."

"What! You trying to buy me off with chicken wings? What do you think I am, anyway!"

Sam-3910152,

Sorry bubba, native americans (ha!) are immigrants also. They just got here walking instead of on a boat. They were here longer, that's all.

17 year olds can work at Hooters?

Shenika was the servers name. Hmmmm, I'm going to go out on a limb and guess she was black........

If a Asian server put "niger" on her ticket I bet she'd be filing a lawsuit too....

I always thought it was "chink" or "chinks". It looks as if the accepted plural is "chinx". Correct? Or is this some new form of spelling to go along with crappy pronunciation? Just asking.

Imagine if she had written slope or zipperhead. WOW! Does that fit for all asians or do those pertain to certain nationalities. Never really been sure.

Pathetic. That's not even the correct slur to use on a Korean....

When the Right Wing gets their politically correct world, only Hispanic/Latino women will work at Hooters, only Black women will work at Tails, only Asian women will work at Spinners, and only White women will work at Flat as a Board (no implants allowed).

Us Moderates will be allowed to eat at all of them..but if you are real nice - we'll sneak some food out the back door to the rest of you.

Shanika may not be the person that wrote, "chinks" on the receipt but they did say it was in Queens. That could be anyone too I guess but why do you think there are not racist in all race's? I would bet they didn't even think that was a racist comment. They just thought it was funny. They are kids and kids are brain damages just like Bill Cosby said in one of his stand up routines. We can never just look at it like it was stupid kids making a dumb mistake. We are all so ready to jump on the racist bandwagon! This just stinks that we even have to worry about it or talk about it ever!

HOG Lover: Chinx is probably how they spell it using ebonics.

Dismissed? What does that word mean? Why isn't the word "FIRED" used? As a half-Japanese/half American-Caucasian (of English descent), I grew up in a town of 98% white people (34,000 population). I was called many names including Chink. This was in the 70's and I got into a few fights because of it. I find it sad to see that this goes on 40 yrs later. As for my nickname, see Humpherey Bogart's movie with the same name. Not a derogatory nickname.

Tokyojoe; what is a 17 year old girl doing working at Hooters in the first place? If I had a 27 year old daughter, I wouldn't want her working there. 17 today is like 12 when we grew up in the 70's - you had to have at least a little class to get a woman back then - now they send you their naked pics at 15yo and you don't even have to schmooze them.

Stay classy Hooters.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

I wish somebody would do that to me so I can become a millionaire, This country is just heading the wrong way.

unemployed. looking for money.. hmmmm what is his country like with foreigners? time to tighten up immigration no job no invite to stay

the chink didn't eat the chicken. OMG

a worker there identified him and his girlfriend on a receipt using a slur referring to Asians, they allege.

They allege? Chink is a racial slur used to refer to asians. Where does the alleged part come in.

Also, what's up with all of the racist comments? Go post those comments elsewhere.

gee...why would anyone think "Shanika" is black?

we all know hundreds of white girls with that name...

I've been to Hooters once, in Atlantic City. The food was lousy. I would never go back. In my view anyone who goes to Hooters just to look at big boobs should save the gasoline and look in the mirror instead.

The suit is ridiculous. It wasn't the company's fault. It was the individual server. How can any company know how their employees are going to react in certain circumstances. They can't. If the situation wasn't handled properly, that would an another issue entirely.

The customers should accept a gift certificate and the apologies from the owner. That should be enough.

The fact that you can sue because you're offended is retarded. Look in this thread there are worse things than being called a chink. Is anybody going to sue all the commenters? I used the word retarded. That offends some. Are they gonna come sue me?

Go back, and show the manager. Get the chick fired. The end. You are not entitled to free money because somebody was mean to you.

Ryan from TX, you're probably correct. msnbs repeats a story until they get it right. Probably see this story and others repeated for 5 years.

Personally, I feel both parties are wrong here. First it doesn't matter who typed in the slur, that person was allowed to resign, meaning she can use the job there on her applications for a new job, and since she wasn't fired, the company that owns this Hooters can't tell a prospective employee anything bad about her, only that they wouldn't hire her back, IF that question is asked of them.

As to the Korean couple, suing the holding company is a bit extreme since the person who did the act is now gone. If the boyfriend were not unemployed, most likely it wouldn't have gotten to this level.

Instead, it is just another case to clog up NYC's already over-burdened courts until the company's insurance decides it is better to just settle and save on court fees.

What's worse is some of the comments here stating that since she has a Black name she must also be a stripper (and worse). I knew racist trolls exist here, as evidenced by posts regarding our President who is half-Black, but most of them at least use code (still 100% racist mind you). Glad to know I live in a country full of people with less sense than a rock. As a fifth generation, WHITE US citizen, I am appalled and ashamed by my fellow citizens' behavior, words and actions.

You would think differently if your receipt had "a**hole" printed for your name. And Shenika would probably have caused a riot if someone printed "ni**er" for hers.

Thank you, though, for thinking of them as Americans. I also think they are Ameicans, but most would consider them as immigrants who will never be "real" Americans.

If someone printed "a**hole" on my receipt, I'd ask to speak to a manager, point out the offense, and refuse to pay for my meal. The manager most likely would trip overhimself, offer the next meal on the house and assure me that the employee would be dealt with swiftly and harshly. I would have gone home, updated my FB status telling the world about the event and ate my free wings and moved on with my life. I wouldn't sue the corporation or even the chain, because, regardless of how angry it made me in the moment, I would know on a fundemental level that this was not the result of a corporate policy to insult their customers. It would be clear as day that it was the ignarant action of a 17 year old who apparently has no manners. I would feel vindicated that I most likely cost her her job by complaining and hope that it teaches her a life lesson about how one needs to comport themselves in the real world. The fact that this individual feels this slight can only be made right by winning thousands of dollars in a lawsuit is laughable.

Xina,

Laughable isn't the term I'd use...I'd call it greedy.

Complain and be sure the employee was fired? Absolutely...

Sue the company??? REALLY? What a waste of time.

He is out of work. Looking for an easy way to make money. He is definately american now. Just sue somebody.

Corporations can be held liable for the actions of their employees. It's pure BS that people can't go have a meal in a public place without racial slurs being made to them by the employees and further documented in a customer receipt. Money damages is also to deter future acts by others. A lawsuit has obviously given more attention and bad publicity to the restaurant than some ranting update to your FB account ever would.

as long as i get my food and its what i ordered i dont care if they put a**hole(i got 1 like everybody else) or injun(1/4 cherokee) or cracker(lots of white in me too) or anything else on it( providing im the only a**hole in the room) people are so thin skinned now days it isnt even funny...really grow a pair and move on really so upset i couldnt eat must not have been to hungry.

How can they sue if they Korean and not chinese

Seriously Sam? Have you ever been the employeer of a restraunt, or even employee? You can screen all you want, most people come into the interview very polite and presentable. How was he to know she would be rotten brat? Its not like she walked into her interview and said, "Hi, I am a racist ignorant kid and you should hire me so i can piss your customers off!!!" Welcome to the real world Sam. Its no one fault but the bratty teen who wrote this!

@ Sam. Some things you shouldn't have to teach employees. Some things, like basic respect, should be taught by PARENTS!

You really shouldn't have to teach an employee to respect a customer, it pretty much goes without saying.

Sorry, but a lawsuit, over one minor incident? No. Bad yes, but still minor. Worth a free wings for a month at the most. Large lawsuits and damage awards should be reserved for repeated acts in a company culture by management. Such as minorities continually passed over for promotion based on race, or age discrimination.

CommonSense-2004266, you are aSSuming. Shenika may be White. Not all Whites name their children Lily, Ann, Sue, Ken, Bob, Bill, and not all Blacks name their children Shenika, Shante, Chiquita, Tyrone, etc. You can't tell a book by its cover. Don't assume.

Actually it is the fault of the Employer for not screening their employee's properly and making sure they have a policy educating their employee's in typical business practices, if you just assume an employee has proper customer service experience then when the Sh_t hits the fan like it did you will need to own up to the problem. Today in our society companies only learn when there is money lost or it just goes back to business as usual that is why there is a Suit filed. Companies today want cheap labor and to increase profits cut every corner they can will this is the sort of things that happens.

What a load of horse crap. Clearly lack of training has nothing to do with a kid acting stupid. Anyone who thinks if someone merely had more training they'd realise writing Chinx to identify an Asian customer was wrong is brain dead. Wouldn't you think the fact they were looking at him and laughing as he looked at his check meant they knew it was wrong but thought it was funny?

I would have gone home, updated my FB status telling the world about the event and ate my free wings and moved on with my life.

Xina you truly are awesome! I like the way you think!

Common Sense - It seems that anyone with common sense can see that the response of the injured party here is in this case disproportionate to the offense. What happened amounts to name calling. Yes, it was a poor decision on the part of the hostess. She was disciplines appropriately. One can screen as much as possible, but one cannot control for every variable in their workforce, particularly at the lower end of the employment ladder. It would be one thing to sue the company if it was a midlevel manager who used this language with a customer or even if it was the store manager, I could see maybe suing the individual franchise. But this was a 17 year old hostess who couldn't even wait tables because she's not old enough to serve beer. Hooters isn't exactly haught cuisine either, it's not fine dining where one expects the staff to be highly paid and highly trained. It's a job for young girls to make good tips because men like to ogle their goodies. If the restaurant hadn't responded appropriately to the complaint, by all means sue them as that demonstrates a willful cultivation of a culture in which that behavior is deemded appropriate. In this instance, the restaurant took the complaint seriously, investigated it, and the employee found in violation of their policy was terminated.

The following is an excerpt from their employee handbook/acknowledgement:

"I hereby acknowledge and affirm that I have read and understand the company's Non-Harrassment Policy, that Hooter's forbids harrassment of anykind, and that I agree to immediately notify company officials of any harrassment complaints which I might have or of any discrimination or harrassment by any employee that I become aware of."

@Common Sense - How is suing a company over an employees poor choice of actions going to stop the next idiot a company hires from doing something just as stupid? Hell, seeing that it's the company that gets punished and not them, maybe they'll be more likely to do so!

Actually it is the fault of the Employer for not screening their employee's properly and making sure they have a policy educating their employee's in typical business practices

I guess that explains Bidens "Big F'n Deal" Comment when the health care law was passed Or Reids comment about having a well spoken clean cut black as a candidate while speaking about President Obama

Employers can require all their employees take all kinds of training but it can not stop some stupid kid from making a stupid mistake.

As for the Lawsuit...It is bull and the judge should throw it out

This whole political correctness thing has gotten way out of control.

Sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me...If you are insulted then just do not patronize the place anymore.

Susan Jeansonne,

Thanks for not going to hooters, you might block our view of young girls dress in skimmy outfits people go there to see.

Oh hell Xina, stop being so rational darlin, it's totally..... un-American.

I always thought there was a "one bite of the apple" rule, where if an employee does something boneheaded the employer isn't liable if it happened for the first time.

Now if this girl or other employees had used racist names on the receipts multiple times, and that management knew of customer complaints, but did nothing about it, then theres grounds to sue. But if it's the first time? Just give the guy an apology and a gift card.

This would never happen at " Chick-Fil-A ".

Sue happy Americans. All the while the attorneys laugh all the way to the bank.

Good response, Saliva !

cbass... I don't know where, (or even if) you went to school but, if I were you, I'd ask for my money back. "definately?" The word is definitely. Please tell me that was a "typo."

"Don't overestimate the decency of the human race." H.L. Menken

DoneBendingOver4GOP,

Shanika might not have had PARENTS! to teach her respect and manners. Daddy might be on the streets or dead and momma might be a crack head and grandma did the best she could raising shanika and the other grandkids dumped on her. Odds are good that the situation was similar to the expressed extreme.

@CB, so because you don't mind being called an a**hole or injin or cracker, it should be ok for everybody else as well. I can't believe people gave you thumbs up because you said that people who complain about being called racial slurs are thin skinned. Him and his girlfriend were paying their money just like everybody else and should expect the same treatment. People who have never really faced discrimination make the comments that you make. And i don't care if you say that you have, because it's obvious you have not.

I am appalled by most of the comments on this board, I really feel bad for so many who are so hateful and intolerant. Hot In Miami, why not just turn on the air conditioning? Or are you getting hot flashes? Hope you feel better.

Thats why you always hear of politacally correct places like that(franchises,and monopolies)the shair holders and the big wigs,that blow this stuff out of hand,you dont hear that from small busineses and ma and pa places,they just get a warning and say knock it off.AND THATS THE WAY IT SHOULD BE.

Hey stoopids ...She's the other kind of hot ...can't you tell by her pic ?

That's a little hotter than your average hot, by anyone's calculations.

Sueing is the American way don't yopu know and we all know ho benefits the most.

Hot in Miami, I want to shaft you. You got it right. People should do stupid stuff knowing they'll be penalized.

Gunga: Yeah, I was being funny, I know what hot means. Her photo is attractive, but here are my feelings on the topic of hotness in this case:

1. My experience is that photos can be very deceptive. Some photos can make average look gorgeous. Hot In Miami's photo is clearly touched up.

2. Any girl that has to indicate she is "hot" in her screen name, is probably not that confident. It may even be a guy that discovered he gets more attention with his comments by having a pretty girl avatar.

3. Pretty girls are a dime a dozen anyways. If all she can point to is beauty, which fades rapidly after age 30, perhaps she is not the quality type person that I am attracted to.

Or when an Indian is referred to as "Paki" ....

I know it really makes me want to sue(Not really) when someone refers to me as Irish because I am Scottish, I mean being called a Mick is just so terrible.

A Ukranian should be offended by being called a Russkie. They are not Russians.

Does that mean I should be offended if people think I am American? Give me a break.

Does that mean I should be offended if someone calls me American? Give me a break.

Pine Barrens-There was a time in this country when being called a "mick" was absolutely a slur. However, my ancestors got over it and made a good life for themselves and I'm proud of my Irish heritage.

Having said that, it seems especially in the last four years way too many people are overreacting and reallly making a whole lot of fuss over name calling. It's been going on since the beginning of time and I doubt that no matter how much you try to regulate people, their thoughts, feelings, opinions etc... the PC police just aren't going to win!!! Sometimes you just have to grow a thick skin and get over it!! What's worse?? Being called a name or being beaten up, killed etc.. for your differences!!!

This is a frivolous lawsuit and if it even makes it to court it should be thrown out!!!

Right! Because everyone knows theres no racism in America!

justme

FAKE slips. The credit/debit card receipt would not print Chinx on it

Nothing fake about it. Most restaurants computers allow the server to put a name or table number (location) in the computer. Which will print out on the receipt along with the servers name or a number.

Not the 2nd slip. Those are the receipts I get every time I use my debit card and it always has my name on it.

justme

Not the 2nd slip

The picture doesn't show the whole receipt. It may have their name on the top or the bottom.

Fake slips, that's why the 17 year old admitted to doing it. That makes a lot of sense...

flnobody

justme

Not the 2nd slip

The picture doesn't show the whole receipt. It may have their name on the top or the bottom.

----------------------

Some people can't wait to spew thier comments before the take an actual look at the reciept. The place where 'chinx' is printed is nowhere near where person's name would appear on the reciept, so flnobody is absolutley right. it's not fake.

C'mon. This incident is as fake as the moon landing. Can't you see? It's all part of the New World Order plan. They can't unite us all, until we are all divided! Elvis, John F. Kennedy, 9/11, Waco, Global Warming,it all fits together into one cohesive plan. My prediction is that the next step in the plan will have to involve planting a racist doll in a California hospital, shocking staff. If that happens soon, then we know the end is very near.

If this were a fake, why would the restaurant acknowledge it happened? For the fun of it? These everything-is-a-conspiracy people scare the cr*p out of me.

BLS, please stop trying to show off by proving you read the article. Facts from the article have no place here. Hang your head in shame.

LOL!!

Yup. The correct response would be, Customer: "look what I found one of your employees doing". Manager: "You're right, just one second. 'Hey you. dumbass. You're fired'. Here's a refund for your bill. Sorry about that." Customer: "that will do. thank you"

I agree, why is it that everyone wants to sue for things that are just not worth it. yeah, fire the waiter that did it and make it known to the media; but why sue? I guess if the couple were herrassed the moment they came in and were assulted, then I would understand. one persons idea of a joke is not an excuse to try and get money out of it.

I agree. I personally would not sue if called a racial slur BUT i think it's fair to let those who were hurt decide how to go forward. It's not fair to tell victims how to respond. It's the same as telling Jewish people to get over the Holocaust or African-Americans to get over slavery. We all heal in different ways. HOWEVER, again I think it is unnecessary to sue because it's not hurting the person who did the crime - it's hurting the corporation she happened to work for.

Cosmo Kramer: Well you know they don't allow outside drinks in the movie theater. So I had to put it in my shirt and sneak it in.

Jackie Chiles: Yeah that's going to be a problem. It's gonna be a problem for them. This a clear violation of your rights as a consumer. It's an infringement on your constitutional rights. It's outrageous, egregious, preposterous.
Cosmo Kramer: It's definitely preposterous.
Jackie Chiles: So. Then what happened?
Cosmo Kramer: Well I was trying to get to my seat and I had to step over someone and I kind of got pushed and it spilled on me.

Jackie Chiles: Now did you put the top on or did they put the top on for you?
Cosmo Kramer: No. They put the top on.

Suing makes corporate America sit up and promote civility in their operations.

Only money talks----everyone knows that.

All of you people blame the waitress and and the cusomer for all of this stuff,not one person mentioed the right reason.Its the lawyers in this country are to blame.There the one's who take the cases and ashure there clients that they will make money,and it doesnt cost the so called victim a thing to get the ball rolling either.I dont blame him for sueing,i would to,hell why not.The lawyers make it to easy to people to sue,for stupid things.The lawyers are the voltures and the wolves and sharks not the nationalities.

Unfortunately for the plaintiffs, you may assume she is black, because she was allowed to resign. If a white person did it they would have been fired. Then decapitated, head placed on a pike outside with a note. This is what hooters thinks of racists.

A lawsuit is over the top. But, why not ? They may get paid. It has happened before. Remember Dennys about 10 years ago. $54 million.

@LaMusica

I can't believe the hostess was that fracking dumb to put that on something that prints out. Guess I shouldn't be surprised.

I'm not. She's 17...It's par for the course. She probably didn't even realize it was a slur. These are the same people that call something they don't like "gay." Our future leaders...

Racist comments should never be tolerated. If condoned. it just gets worse.

Asians especially should speak up when their rights are violated. Or learn which businesses condone such behavior, publish their names on the internet, and roundly BOYCOTT them---hey that was how Ghandi got rid of the Brits in India.

Asian Americans should take lessons from the Jewish American community.

Would the media or America businesses dare mess with them?

FYL58,

Uhhhhh, you haven't been watching much news lately have you? Plenty of media folks messing with Israel.

@fyl58 "Asians especially should speak up when their rights are violated."

Why "especially" Asians? Are they the only ones violated through history? Why not "especially" Native Americans, or Jews, or Christians, or homosexuals, etc?

I never understood why any particular group should speak up. Why shouldn't EVERYONE speak up, regardless of ethnicity or whatever caused the discrimination? We should ALL be treated equally.

Sorry for interjecting common sense into this p1ss1ng contest.

Happened in Subway, guy came in, said sub gave him gas, his wife wouldn't have relations with him. He wanted his money back and they gave it to him. They said it was easier to refund him then to deal with him.

Unfortunately, corporate America has trained unscrupulous consumers to bitch about anything to get a free meal or deal.

This behavior was outrageous. Will probly settle out of court.

I wish that in cases like this, the employee would have a judgement entered and listed on credit report.

Then future employers would know what they are getting into. Some real POS's out there.

What exactly is your point? Hadn't had your daily hate screed and figured now was as good a time as any to get one in?

Unfortunately its a Blacks right to cast racial slurs at everyone but if anyone returns the favor they are a racist. Whites have NO rights compared to every other nationality, I have never seen or heard of a white person sueing a black for a racist remark, or a black going to jail for racial slurs.

It is hard being White.

I know! Let's go to Hooter's and we can get you some wings to soothe your hurt feelings....

Stop playing the Asian Americans against black Americans.

That is the oldest white racist game in America.

Actually, I think the oldest white racist game in the book is when they used to turpentine the negro's rear ends and place bets on how fast it could get to the creek to cool its bottom. I believe it was called, "'tine'n the coon". Please keep your racist facts straight.

Feel free to kill yourself....you won't be missed.

oh war machine, relax. you just THINK you wouldn't miss me but it would be like this little itch you couldn't scratch and then one day it would hit you..."damn, I miss Ken". THEN you'd be sorry...

Also, war machine, I should apologize. I believe I got cats and negros mixed up in my memory. They used to turpentine cats and place bets on them, not negros. Sorry for the confusion, but I'm sure you can understand. I mean, totally different creatures but they both make good pets.

Pfff... I work at hooters, and I wish I could sue some my customers. The older regulars are real a$$holes. The crap they call me is far worse.

Paulyballgame-Why would you think that?? Probably cause you'd be right!

Rose - please tell me you're joking. You chose a job where you make money by thrusting your breasts into strangers faces, and you wish you could sue them for being perverts? If they weren't perverts, you wouldn't be able to pay your bills, remember?

Lets see, we have absolutely NO evidence but you want the waiterss fired. REALLY? I also find it funny that the guy is UNEMPLOYED, HMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

lynnial

Lets see, we have absolutely NO evidence

ah? Did you look at the picture?

Lynnial

Lets see, we have absolutely NO evidence but you want the waiterss fired.

___________________________________________________________________________________

What do you mean no evidence when it is printed on the receipt with the waitresses id!!!! Try reading the article before you post.

Not to mention the fact that the article clearly stated that she admitted to doing it. Cripes, if you're going to use caps, at least have your facts straight.

She wasn`t fired. She was allowed to resign. Big difference when she applies for her next job.

I agree blaming the company for her actions is wrong. But that precedent has been set. Employers are ultimatley responsible for their emploees actions.

Her name on the receipt and her admission are probably enough evidence for a jury. Mr. Chinx will get paid for this. But it will likely be an out of court settlement. Hooters execs. and attorneys would be fools to give the plaintiffs attorneys a chance to select a jury for this. Imagine how many women would love a chance to sit in judgement of Hooters !!

Big swing and a miss there, Snoop...

maybe not your "A" game, but it still made me chuckle.

I found it titilating....

I'm a double amputee and have been called so many names I can't count and it never bothers me, although I'm not some thin skinned whiner looking for free money either, but I guess some people feel guilty because they don't belong here. These immigrants have evidently been in a free country(the US) long enough to learn how to make easy money. If they don't like name calling then they need to go back to that wonderful country they came from.

This is america, foreigners learn it quickly, that you can use their stupid laws to your advantage, specially when you deal with stupid and spoiled american kids, these people need to be cut before is too late.

I bet your ancestors were foreigners too.

And I'll bet that the young man who raised this case is American born.

You are saying he is a foreigner based on the fact he has Asian heritage. There are many Asian Americans born in America just like you---I'll bet some whose ancestors came before yours did.

To Konyak and all others dictating how people should feel when someone racially slurs them: YOU are free to do as you please and simply ignore it just as the Koreans are free to NOT not take your wonderful "thick skinned" advise to ignore it, so they sued. See how that works? At the end of the day, the way to not have to deal with anyone's offense at ethnic slurs is to, I donno, NOT MAKE THE ethnic slur in the first place. And to all the freedom of speech experts, you still have the freedom to make the slur -- but guess what? You don't get to dictate the response and you won't be able to predict the response. After being called a name, the insulted person has the freedom to do any of the following: laugh, walk away, ask for the manager, sue and my favorite, possibly kick the stew out of you. Good luck with that last one.

jenny, the freedom to beat someone up? yeah, no laws against that...

Leave it to a woman to bring up physical attack as a justified response to any offensive statement or behavior... That is until they find out how fun getting beat up or even beating someone up really is, then it's "oh, how terrible, violence is never the answer... feelings and blah blah blah."

You truly are a dumb@ss. The waitress ADMITTED that she had done it!

What part of that is so difficult to understand?

And just how would you like being called a Chinx, #Corydean? The environment that is being nurtured today with all of the hate being spewed across the airwaves, it is no wonder stuff like this happens. And then you make a Brilliant Comment like that? I wonder what Slanderous Nickname would fit you and your lifestyle???

I have been call a honky, white boy, gringo, redneck, scooter trash.. ..and I am so I took no offense..

Was it supposed to be offensive? Well then it was the spics and coons problem not mine...

because white people have always been at the top of the "food chain." You can insult them (which still is not right) but it does not change the history of benefits.

But what did hooters do? This is just one person making a slur. Is a company really supposed to be liable for every single thing an employee says? Can't they just post a sign that says, "The statements made by our employees and customers are not necessarily the views of Hooters." I mean, what if you are in Hooters and another customer calles you a name, can you still sue Hooters for not kicking them out. AND how do you know that the employee and the customer aren't friends and about to split a big payday?

Well RB I sort of agree with you. My problem is I honestly have no idea what the "Chinx" means most resturants go by table number not the ethnicity of the person sitting there. I'm pretty sure Hooters would do the same.

@yourmothersir "because white people have always been at the top of the "food chain.""

Tell that to Genghis Khan or perhaps anyone from Asia... where they have the majority of the population.

The only reason for the appearance of whites being on "top of the food chain", is that the asian cultures have been closed for so long. If they wanted, they could take over every aspect of superiority (with the exception of freedom).

Let me guess... you believe that the Illuminati and reptile aliens rule the world too.
