Two customers at a restaurant in South Africa’s city of Cape Town received a bill which identified them as “two blacks”, reports Eyewitness News.
The customer Scott Maq tweeted the receipt:

The Bungalow’s marketing manager, Micheline Leo, told Eyewitness News that a waiter inputted identification notes to help identify tables.
The restaurant later apologised in a tweet:

But Mr Maq was not impressed, demanding a personal apology:
@KoveCollection I do not accept your apology. You’ve failed to contact me directly as an offended patron.
@KoveCollection I had to hear from a journalist on how you plan to handle this incident. No apology/communication to the offended patron.
