Papa John's Racist Voicemail Goes Viral: Hear Delivery Driver's Epithet-Laden Song [VIDEO]
A Sandford, FL Papa John's customer recently got more than he paid for, got more than he paid for. The customer posted a video online that plays a highly derogatory voicemail he received from a Papa John's delivery worker after receiving a pizza from the restaurant.
The African-American customer was eating his pizza when the delivery driver's phone accidentally dialed his number again. After the call went to voicemail, the customer listened to the message, only to hear a slew of racial epithets directed toward him.
"That's the only requirement for being a n****r," the employee said. "Yeah, they gave me five bucks there. Fine, outstanding African-American gentleman of the community," one employee can be heard saying to his co-worker.
The man (who remains unnamed) quickly posted a video of the call to WorldStarHipHop.com, a video which quickly went viral due to the sheer volume of crude material within it. The customer is understandably upset by the situation.
"As an African-American in this community and also someone who has always tipped their Delivery Drivers 21%+, I am disgusted entirely by this conversation. Instead of focusing on 'better ingredients' and 'better pizza', they should prioritize 'better integrity' and 'better people' on the top of their 'to-do list.'" he said in a statement.
To their credit, Papa John's was quick react to the impropriety of their employees. Both employees heard in the voicemail have since been terminated and Papa John's CEO and chairman John Schnatter has also issued a formal apology to the customer for the actions of his employees.
"My heartfelt apology goes out to the customer involved, his family, and our community at large," Schnatter wrote. "I am very sorry that anyone would be exposed to these hurtful and painful words by any person involved in any way with our company. Thank you for your important comments. I have personally reached out to our customer to share my own thoughts and offer my deepest apology."
