NEW YORK: A New York city restaurant has sacked one of its staff, after the individual wrote "Ching Chong" as the name of an Asian customer on a receipt.
Facebook user Ziggy Chau first posted the incriminating photo online last Wednesday, showing a crumpled receipt from Cornerstone Cafe, with the words "Customer Name: Ching Chong" printed on it.
In the caption, she said it happened to a friend's mother, and asked people to boycott the eatery until they publicly apologise.
"Better yet, call them directly and let them know they have a racist staff."
She then went on to say that racism has no place anywhere, and implored her Asian friends to speak up, ending her post with the hashtage #BlackLivesMatter.
In a later update, she explained that her friend did not want to escalate the incident, so she called the restaurant herself to complain to the manager.
