Darlene McCoy, a nationally syndicated radio host and gospel artist, is calling out Atlanta restaurant Woody’s Cheesesteaks for labeling her as “Darky” on her receipt. On Saturday, June 24, McCoy posted a video testimonial about the “insensitive” encounter she had at the Buckhead restaurant.
McCoy explained how the cashier refused to change her name or refund her money after she noticed it labeled as “Darky” instead of “Darlene.” She said that despite her fair skin, she is still a black woman and that she won’t stand for racism. The cashier was visibly upset when McCoy confronted him and shouted her name out when her order was ready.
The recording artist shared her plans to raise awareness about Woody’s treatment because she is “sick of racism” in this country. She shared a copy of the receipt that confirmed she was labeled “Darky” and called on her followers to spread the word and reach out to the restaurant directly.
McCoy’s followers have been supportive and encouraged her to “make Woodys famous in the worse way” and to seek legal representation and sue the restaurant for her refund. She hopes her story will bring attention to the racism that is still prevalent in the U.S. today.
