'It wouldn't say white if I was Caucasian': Asian woman claims hipster café gave her a 'racist' receipt after she ordered raisin toast

It is normal for cafe staff to identify customers in some way on the order docket.  It can be by a table number and it can be by asking a name.  In this case the staff member has apparently   forgotten to ask a name so used a description

An Asian woman has claimed a cafe gave her a supposedly racist receipt which described her ethnicity.

Katherine Chen had ordered her raisin toast to take away from a café in Sydney's trendy Surry Hills but was surprised when she saw her receipt.

While some cafes use the customer's name to identify whose order it is, this café chose to write the woman's ethnicity as her identifier instead.

The word 'Asian' was written in capital letters above her raisin toast order.

What Katherine Chen got was a glimpse of how people, who don't know, her see her. Rather than take that as an honest fact, she chose to be offended by the truth.

OH MY GOD!!!!! Someone is offended.... AGAIN!! Over nothing! I cannot remember the last time I bothered to read a receipt from a coffee shop. What am I going to do with it? Return the product?
