Would you have believed that skid row employee if that was his explanation?


An Arby's employee was fired on the spot in Indiana after he wrote a homophobic slur against 2 gay men's receipt when they visited during Pride Month!!

Craig Gray and John Burns were at the restaurant in Lafayette and waited for their order. Burns noticed the name on their receipt that was replaced with the slur prompting him to take a picture and post it on FB

He wrote "So this happened at Arby's"

He confronted the cashier and the man attempted to explain the degrading slur away as a "computer glitch"

Gray said "Look at this, What is this? Why would you do this?. And that's when he tried to give me some lame excuse about a computer glitch where he said, sometimes it'll put in a name and it will come out different on the receipt"

Not satisfied Gray then took the complaint to the manager who offered them a full refund and fired the man on the spot

An Arby's spokesperson said "The franchised employee was terminated within minutes of management becoming aware of the incident. The company has a zero tolerance for discriminatory speech of any kind".

They have been together for 17 years and were shocked by the course of events and blatant homophobia as Burns said "Sometimes you're not exposed to some of those things unless you go out o fyour way. But sometimes it just smacks you right in the face"

Would you have believed the now skid row employee that it was a "computer glitch" that did that?

if it was genuinely a glitch it should be easy to reproduce the glitch by performing the order again...

Not always. I dont believe this was a glitch. But it might not be easy to reproduce...

Yeah, not sure how "Craig" or "John" becomes "f--" in the system unless he typed "f--" in the system. Among other things, that was just stupid on his part because there's no way you can do that and claim that it just happened. Was he trying to get fired? Because that's sufficient cause for termination. He's not going to get unemployment

Some people are just really dumb and do things without thinking about it. He might have been trying to get fired, but I think it more likely he just let his inner thoughts out without even fully realizing what he was doing.

Man, I miss Arby's. Haven't been in ages.

Obviously the firing on the spot was the right thing to do, but I'm curious as to what there's even an "order name" field for in their system. Every sort of fast foody kind of place I've went to like this never even asked me for a name and just gave me a number.

I'm guessing it's the same rationale as Starbucks getting names for orders instead of just numbers. Service feels more personalized if somebody addresses you by name, even if, intellectually, you know they're just reading it off the order slip.

Okay, what he did was stupid, but I got slightly confused when for some reason I assumed the aim was to write the customer's name on the receipt - and I figured with his name being Craig Gray - that his intended aim was far too easy a mark to pass up - then you confirmed it was just the slur

I was like... Oh it's too easy! And you do this? Eh.

I'm almost still confused. Why didn't it end up that way?

Obviously, it would be because he didn't know the customer's name beforehand, but ... THAT is obviously the one that you could pass off as a computer glitch / human error

Sorry Craig my hands were tired

The slur is nowhere close to being anywhere near the name Gray

They've been asking for names for years, at least at the locations I've seen.

It's the f with the blotted area after it. 3-letter slur for gay people. Obviously they aren't going to show the whole word in those photos.

its always hilarious to see how a lot of conservatives for some reason dont understand how to actually make a joke

like they understand the general concept, but beyond that they really start to struggle

Ive seen names quite often. Not as often as numbers, but some places do ask for names...

It sounds like the poster thought thats what the slur would have been as it would have been easy, and would have been easy to explain (if they knew the last name). But it was something different...

Almost seems like someone started backtracking around the countries just so that they could continue degrading the world with their favorite words

"No, it totally also can refer to a cigarette - Trust me, I was there"

of course he was there - he just really didn't want to stop saying it

"No, it used to mean happy - Trust me, I was there"

of course that's what it used to mean - Cartman probably had a grandpa, too

but only after one has been initiated does he learn of these extra meanings
