AUSTIN - An Austin couple who stopped to pick up a meal at an IHOP restaurant early Monday said they will never go to another IHOP after the message they saw on their receipt.


quote:

"This is not a joke," said Sparkman. "It's very serious and it hurt a lot of people's feelings."

Brown and Sparkmen were shocked to see "BLACK PPL" typed at the top of their receipt. Two words that induced a range of emotions.

"I feel upset, I'm sad, I'm angry. Like this, it makes no sense," said Brown.

Adding insult to injury, Brown said the server was a young Black man.





Maybe he just described them as he saw them? Are they upset to know other people realize they're black?

330 am trips to IHOP? I'm surprised they remembered anything at all.

I was going to title my thread...

But that might have been a little confusing.

After working in a kitchen and reading a lot of bar tickets. This is not out of the ordinary. The place could have been busy. Maybe this was the young mans way of keeping his tables organized.

fwiw. I doubt they would have tipped either way.

I bet they didn't tip one red (or black) cent.

Like I've said before, I'm so glad that I'm a white man who doesn't have to deal with or care about this bs.

You posted this only 12 1/2 hours after the meal? How did you get this so quick? Did you order the Colorado? What exactly is that?

Sounds like a win-win if you ask me.

So it's more insulting for a black person to say black people are black?
