A teenage waitress has revealed how a customer left a racist insult in the 'tip’ line of a receipt.

Toni Christina Jenkins had just finished serving a couple at the Red Lobster restaurant in Tennessee on Saturday afternoon, when she discovered the slur.

In the slip for the $45 dinner, one of the customers had written ‘none’ in the tip line, and a racist term beneath it.

Jenkins, who is studying to be a nurse, posted the receipt on her Facebook account, along with the explanation: “This is what I got as a tip last night… so happy to live in the proud southern states...God Bless America, land of the free and home of the low class racists of Tennessee.”

Jenkins says she has since been inundated with support, telling MailOnline: “I don’t get tips all the time. I really don’t care cause God is my provider, I don’t worry about tips.”

The 19-year-old added: “They were extremely rude, but I introduced myself to them and they didn’t respond. When I came to take their order they simply told me they wanted their food and to put everything in a to-go box.”

Yet since the image went viral, some have suggested Jenkins added the insult herself because she was bitter she hadn’t received a tip.

The picture also made an appearance on Reddit where one poster questioned the handwriting, claiming it was “totally different” to the signature.

Jenkins confirmed on Facebook she is now being “harassed” about the validity of the receipt but thanked her supporters, calling on them to continue sharing the image, because: "the more you share the more awareness we create."

It’s not the first time racial slurs have found their way onto food receipts.

Last year a Papa John’s pizza outlet was forced to apologise after a customer received a receipt identifying her as “lady chinky eyes”.

I've been called a WOP before, but in context it was just a silly joke rather than an actual insult. I think that might be the same in Asian woman's case.

Still not as funny as the "Lady Chinky-Eyes" gag that some Papa John's employees pulled a while back. I'm not racist, but fuck that nickname was funny.

I get called your usual stereotypical crud for being Scottish but it's never insulting to me, more funny and I retaliate with both barrels fully loaded

What a dumb ass on two counts!

The comment and using a credit card with his or her name and signature on it!

I showed this to a couple of waitress friends and they don't think it's real.

The signature and printing do not match.

The cardholder's name is showing, as are the last four digits of the card number.

If a boss sees it, not even no tips, but, no job either!

They said it happened to a girl at Applebee's, who did the same thing.

I never knew there were so many racist terms!

We had a steak place called, "*****'s," for years. A couple of years ago, the Chinese community started bitching about it.

I don't recall the origin of the name, but, this year, the owners did change the name. Never been there so I don't know if they're any good.
