Bad idea in general to describe customers on a receipt, as it’s bound to get you in trouble. But so PC that referring to a black couple as a black couple gets you fired?
Via WSBTV:
MARYLAND HEIGHTS, Mo. — A waitress in Maryland Heights, Missouri, is out of a job after she reportedly labeled two of her customers as “black couple” on a restaurant receipt.
According to KTVI, Kimberli Wilson and a companion were at Patrick’s Westport Grill on July 18 when she saw the words at the top of the bill.
“I was frustrated,” Wilson told KTVI. “I was angry. I was thinking, ‘Really? Are we still doing this in 2015?'”

“She could have said first table, table at front door, man with coral shirt,” Wilson told KTVI. “There are so many other options that she could have chosen other than that. That’s unacceptable.”
