He referred to the customer to a 3rd party as the "N" word, mighty different than calling someone the "N" word.

I'm certain that the couples iPods are full of music where the "N" word is used many, many times.

I don't use the word myself, but hey, let's face it, who hasn't seen a black person refer to another as "my N*****"?

Watch and listen to the video. The receipt was for $15.26 and the driver complains that he only got a $5 tip. That's more like a 33% tip 'Mathguy'. (the customer miscalculated as 21% by dividing the other way: $20.46/$5.

That's a 33% tip.

A $5 buck tip is a good tip for a pizza delivery, he had nothing to complain about.

He should have been fired just for complaining.

Dale and this poster have a point. Stop calling each other that word! If it's so degrading and insulting, then stop calling each other the name. I'd never even dream of calling black colleagues, friends, or acquaintances that word!


And no it wasn't smart on the driver's part either. But, I think common sense has gone out the door in this country.

It would appear the customer couldn't move on without going public first. Not every personal affront needs to be a public spectacle.

Rubbish. Imbeciles like this would be saying what they said regardless of whether AA's use the word among themselves. And context matters.

Exactly. The customer is damn near always right.

First of all clean up begins with blacks calling each other that name. Why is it acceptable for blacks to be able to call each other out by that name. But no others.

My professional black friends who are near and dear to me, don't want to be called that name period, by anyone, not even a black person. They themselves have stated to me so often, in the black community period, things have got to change.

There in my opinion was no need for that word to be used period. In my opinion this guy deserves to be fired.

Stop using the word amongst yourselves, it is not becoming. Some blacks ***** when others refer to them with that N word, but it is acceptable by another black, you can't be taken seriously.
