    It says Loman “missed work and sought counseling” in the aftermath of what he endured at the restaurant.

    Lol.

      Well how are they doing going to learn their lesson if there isn’t a financial punishment?

        The offending person got fired. Lost their paycheck. That’s a financial punishment.

          Yeah, and now the company that allowed it to happen will pay too. It doesn’t really take a rocket scientist to put word filters on the receipt printing system to prevent this.

            World filters have been proven to be bypassed in every situation they have ever been used. Only whitelists work, and even then somebody can still write on the thing.

            Holding the company accountable for that is just American thinking and not a single other western country would do that. Only if they try to protect the employee or have been known to have a problem with such stuff and have not tried to fix it. That’s why Skyline969 said “Americans…”.

            Oh and I find it extremely sad and bad faith thinking if word filters should be considered the default on custom notes on receipts.

              They already are the default. They’re already sanitizing the inputs to prevent a bobby droptables event.

              If their filtering were bypassed that’s a defence that could be raised at trial, but not implementing it at all should leave them liable.
