A Papa John’s delivery driver in Sanford, Florida lost a lot more than his dignity when he “butt-dialed” a customer whose home he had just left: he lost his job. It wasn’t that he accidentally called the customer, it’s what he ended up leaving in the customer’s voicemail box that got him in trouble. The customer, whose name was not given, played the message back, made a video and posted that on YouTube and World Star Hiphop. It didn’t take long for viewers to call both the Papa John’s location and the delivery boy to complain.

The delivery guy, whose first name is Jordan, was doing some world-class racial slurring:

“That’s the only requirement for being a n****r in Sanford. Yeah, they gave me five bucks there. Fine, outstanding African-American gentleman of the community.”

He then goes on to sing the “n-word” to the tune of The Marriage Of Figaro Overture and the S.W.A.T. Theme (and not very well). He continues to chat with a co-worker, the two of them still bitching and making disparaging remarks about the “ni**er” customer, culminating in a ‘joke’ that the customer was “so black, fireflies follow him around in the daytime.” The co-worker was fired as well. Their main complaint – other than the customer’s skin color – seems to be that the tip wasn’t big enough. Five dollars on a $15.26 pizza is about 30% – I grew up in Vegas, I know from good tips. And this was a stellar one, even if the customer’s math is low.

The video was posted Sunday night. As of this writing, it has been viewed over 400,000 times on the two sites where it is posted. There are 191 comments on the YouTube video (update: YT has taken the video down as of 12:15am PST) and almost 6,000 on the Hiphop site, many of which said that they were going to call Papa John’s and/or the driver, both numbers being visible in the video. And sure enough, many complaints went directly to Papa John’s Sanford, FL location. They have received over 300 calls from angry citizens.

Papa John’s is no stranger to racist employees. In January of 2012, an employee at a NYC location was fired for referring to a customer as a “lady chinky eyes.” http://www.addictinginfo.org/2013/05/28/papa-johns-customer-gets-surpr
