A popular burger restaurant has been forced to apologise after a customer found a racist message on their receipt – and an employee has been sacked.
Fergburger, in the New Zealand tourist hotspot of Queenstown, has welcomed A-listers such as Ed Sheeran but is now making headlines for all the wrong reasons.
A customer dined at the restaurant on Sunday afternoon but didn’t give their name to the server.
They were then shocked to see they’d been labelled ‘ching chang’ on their receipt in the section where their name was supposed to go.
A photo of the receipt was shared by the customer’s friend to social media, prompting Fergburger to issue a public apology.
The restaurant, which features a menu in Chinese on its website, acknowledged a ‘recent incident involving inappropriate and insensitive labelling on a customer order’.
‘The employee involved in this incident has been dismissed for their unjustified behaviour,’ the company said in a statement issued on Tuesday afternoon.
