(CNN) -- Papa John's Pizza fired a cashier at one of its New York restaurants and apologized to an Asian-American customer for a receipt that identified her as "lady chinky eyes."

"We were extremely concerned to learn of the receipt issued in New York," the company said in a statement posted on its Facebook page Saturday.

Minhee Cho, a communications manager at nonprofit investigative journalism group ProPublica, posted a photo of the receipt on her Twitter account Saturday morning and by the afternoon it was picked up by a local newspaper.

Along with the receipt, Cho tweeted "just FYI my name isn't 'lady chinky eyes.'"
The receipt had been viewed online almost 200,000 times by Sunday afternoon, according to the counter on the Twitpic page.

Cho did not immediately respond to CNN's request for comment, but her boss did.

"This blew up far beyond Minhee's expectations," ProPublica spokesman Mike Webb said in an e-mail. "She has reporters coming to her apartment, and that's annoying. So she wants it to blow over and she has nothing more to say."

Cho was a customer Friday night at the Papa John's on Broadway in Manhattan's Hamilton Heights neighborhood, according to the receipt.

"This act goes against our company values, and we've confirmed with the franchisee that this matter was addressed immediately and that the employee is being terminated," the pizza company said. "We are truly sorry for this customer's experience."

Hopefully the Asian in you isn't driving when you are thinking of all this. The Asian in you needs to concentrate as much as possible when driving

Hey, I meant to ask you, should I be looking for you in the crowd this Saturday evening? I'm hosting a Blazer party, so we'll be sure to look out for you.

It will be a tough find I think. We are up high. I think 2nd row of the 3rd level. Christmas, birthdays, not the best time to fork over hundreds on a game I could watch from home

Do you ever wear Blazer gear?

Never mind, I think I already know the answer to that question.

you dont have to lie, just admit that you arent actually going to be there, and nobody will care

Look for someone in a "I love Nate" t-shirt sitting next to a pizza guy.

Probably just a Miley Cyrus fan.

Miley Cyrus made some chinky eyes
Standing behind an Asian guy
I don’t know if this should fly
As if there wasn’t enough to despise

I wasn’t necessarily a fan of
Her, her dad, or Hannah Montana
I tend to prefer the songs of Rihanna
Racism against Asians is simply bananas!

Oh Miley!
Chinky eyes make you look wily
prejudice isn’t thought of so highly
it doesn’t make us all smiley

Why is there nothing that Asians can do?
To make fun of other races as easily as you
Why isn’t racism against Asians taboo?
Why are we always so racially screwed!

All you have to do is pull at your face
To make your eyelids resemble our race
This kind of joke has no proper place
Miley Cyrus is a disgrace!

This fucking country. This woman is really offended? People need to lighten up.

This fucking country. This woman is really offended? People need to lighten up.

Not saying you're wrong, but where did she say she was offended? She tweeted a snarky remark, along with the photo, and it blew up. It sounds like a classic case of trial by internet for this employee.

Little sarcasms are often provoked. I was wondering, did the employee strangely type this out of the blue for no reason, or were there verbal events preceding it?

The employee shouldn't have done this, of course. The customer is always right. Just absorb the slings and arrows you get every hour. But still, we often don't hear both sides of the story.

 

[MARIS61]

If you do a Google Image search for "lady chinky eyes" her picture pops up, so I guess Google search is racist too.

 

[PapaG]

Seems like a set-up to me. This happens to an "investigative journalist" who works for a non-profit group?

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

shifty ass chinks. :MARIS61:

 

[PapaG]

I have to add that I thought this thread was going to be about some new fashion look by Lady Gaga.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

T.A.C. strike again! :MARIS61:
