Ronald Johnson, a Papa Johns operating partner who runs five stores in Manhattan including the one where the incident took place, told us it was "really disappointing and outrageous." He said the female cashier was a "16-year-old urban youth who listens to this nonsense all day on TV and radio"—he said the incident reflected a larger disconnect in modern youth culture. "It's really really unfortunate, it's a bad bad thing," he said. "When I googled the phrase, all these songs came up. These kids bring their baggage into the store with them. I dont know if I should fire her." Johnson said it's normal practice for cashiers to identify customers with phrases like "lady with blue shirt" or "man with Yankees cap."

I wonder what the response would have been had the cashier used the "N" word or some such.
