        I did, thanks. I was mostly joking, obviously, but the article doesn’t prove anything anyway. Customer claimed, company fired.

          the article obviously skirts around it but it’s clear in the video: https://www.tiktok.com/@mrsbonafide/video/7432702894178077995

            I didn’t see a video, thanks.

            That’s awfully brazen, isn’t it? People suck.

          For real. I read the thing wondering if it was hand written/typed by a person, or just a shitty coincidence that one of the shorthand codes for a product happened to be “nigs.” It doesn’t really say either way, but considering someone was fired over it I have to assume it is not a POS shorthand.

            That was also my assumption, but according to the article, this is not the case
