KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- A Kansas City man found a racial slur printed on his receipt after returning a pair of shoes he bought over the weekend.

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.

"Have they been fired? I mean, this is absolutely crazy," said a man who saw the store ticket.

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.
