Racist pub receipt?

The pub should have put 'white couple' to avoid offense

making a big deal out of nothing. it's a bloody description with nothing offensive in it.

I know i've said things like that when pointing my boss round the corner. along with 'tall bloke' 'woman with bright blonde hair' etc.

Black or not, that dude is seriously ugly.

Read this story properly. This is NOT racism.

The couple ordered AT THE BAR, with no table number. The bar staff, with no clue as to whether there was anyone upstairs, had to describe these people for the waiter/waitress delivering the food to identify them.

Also, even if the place was deserted, what if other people went upstairs to eat after this couple placed their order?

The Slug obviously was trying to help this couple by letting them order food without sending them upstairs to get a table number and then returning to the bar.

If the tables are not numbered, the only way to avoid offending such oversensitive people is to give them a token of some kind to display to the wait staff.

But I repeat, this is NOT racism.

but they are black.... aren't they?

Heaven forfend that a black couple might be described as a black couple.

I love it when people try to describe someone of a different origin to themselves as 'the man with the short hair' or whatever so they don't cause offence. Particularly when there's about 6 men with short hair near by, and the one they're talking about is the black guy.
