An Arby's employee has been fired after writing a homophobic slur on a gay couple's receipt when they visited during Pride Month. Craig Gray and John Burns were at the fast food location in Lafayette last Sunday and ordered from the counter. While waiting for their food, Burns noticed the name on their receipt had been replaced with the homophobic slur 'f*g,' prompting Gray to take a picture of it and post it on Facebook. Not satisfied with the employee's excuse, Gray then took the receipt to the franchise's management, who offered the couple a full refund before firing the employee on the spot. The couple, who have been together for 17 years, told NBC that they were 'shocked' at the course of events, having experienced very little blatant homophobia like the kind they dealt with in Arby's last weekend.
