開開心心去買份小吃，還沒吃上呢，就被一張收據給氣到沒了胃口……
當地時間6月7日周五，美國密西西比州牛津鎮的兩個美國姑娘怎麼也沒想到，剛在當地一家名為Who Dat's Drive-Thru的小吃店點完餐，就收到這麼一張讓人氣到吃不下東西的收據。
收據上方，醒目的粗體黑字把名叫華盛頓(Lex Washington)的非洲裔美國姑娘和她的朋友稱作「銀色車裡的兩個黑*子」。
華盛頓當即要求餐館，解僱這名列印了這份收據並侮辱了她和她朋友的員工，並要求餐館向她反饋處理結果。
然而，直到周一，餐館也沒有給她任何回復。
忍無可忍的華盛頓只能將她的遭遇訴諸網絡。
Washington claimed in her post that she was not going to say anything and 『give them the opportunity to do the right』 thing. According to Washington,no one had reached out as of Monday night.華盛頓在她的帖子中稱，她本來什麼都沒說，給了他們做正確的事的機會。不過，據華盛頓稱，直到周一晚上，也沒有人聯繫過她。Washington stated she asked that the employee, who she called 『Jimmy』, be fired for his comments and asked Who-Dat to update her. She texted someone at the restaurant to see if they had come to a decision, but had not received a response as of 9:29 p.m. on Monday.華盛頓稱，她要求小吃店解僱這名被稱為「吉米」的言論不當的員工，並要求小吃店向她提供最新處理結果。她給小吃店裡的某個員工發了消息，詢問他們是否已經做出了決定，但截至周一晚上9點29分還沒有收到回復。「I have been racially ridiculed and demeaned as a African American Female,」 Washington’s post read. 「I seek justice for this hate crime and I will no longer remain silent. I』ve lived in Oxford for 5 years and I’m still having to deal with this type of ignorance.」「作為一名非裔美國女性，我受到了種族歧視和貶低，」華盛頓發帖稱。「我為這一仇恨犯罪行為尋求正義，並將不再保持沉默。我在牛津已經5年了，還得面對這種愚昧的行為。」

華盛頓表示，在收到收據之前，她對這家店的任何僱員都沒有敵意或任何粗魯行為。她說她點了食物，然後把車開過來領取食物和收據。據華盛頓說，收據是給廚師看的，不是給她看的。
在華盛頓發帖之後，小吃店的老闆懷利 ·科爾曼(Wylie Coleman)當地時間周一晚上10點半在餐館的臉書上發帖稱，該員工已經被解僱了。
Coleman said "the employee responsible did not represent us as a business or personality. We do not feel this way about women or condone any racial identifier. We feel identities of sex & race should be communicated in a formal & professional manner in every place of business & we feel like it is most important to have employees that already have that professionalism behind closed doors.科爾曼說:「負責此事的員工並不代表我們的企業或個人。我們對女性沒有這種歧視，也不會縱容任何種族歧視。我們認為性別和種族的認同應該在每一個商業場所以正式和專業的方式進行溝通。我們認為最重要的是，讓員工在幕後（非公開場合）也已擁有這種專業的精神。"There is no justice to this immediately & we will respond to everyone in time," the post continued. "We apologize about this situation and will grow from it."「這是不公平的，我們會及時回應每一個人，」科爾曼發帖稱。「我們為這種情況道歉，並將從中成長。」
