“Dumb Nigger” printed on Journey’s customer receipt in Kansas City suburb

I had one of my friends give me this info about a story that apparently appeared on NBC Dateline recently.  This action occurred last October but is apparently just coming to that national scene.  Here’s the report from KMBC-TV in Kansas City last year:

KMBC’s Marcus Moore reported that Keith Slater, 22, bought a pair of shoes from a store called Journeys. Slater later returned them after finding a cheaper pair at another store. Slater did get his money back, but it was what was printed on the receipt that he and his family found disturbing.

“That makes me upset. I don’t want to look at that (receipt,) that makes me so upset. Why would you say that?” said a woman who was shown the receipt.

The receipt, which shows “Cust: Dumb” and then the n-word, is what Slater received after returning a pair of shoes to Journeys at Oak Park Mall.

“When he showed me that receipt, I could not believe it,” said Slater’s mother, Linda. “He couldn’t believe it. I couldn’t believe it. None of us got any sleep just thinking about it.”

The above video from Tonya TKO lists all of the ways you can get in contact with Journey’s to let them know your displeasure.  I haven’t had enough time to dig to see if there has been any resolution to this situation, but this is information we need to know as people continue to tell us that there are no race problems in America or in our towns.  And this case is institutional in nature.

I’ll try to dig more but leave comments here if you know more than I do right now.
