Claim 1: “Crazy Crab manager Rez Choudhury told the Atlanta Black Star the waiter likely learned the N-word from back-of-house staff while “goofing around” and then entered into the system without realizing it would print on the customer’s $133.87 check.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The evidence provided for this claim refers to 'CrazyGames', a website for online gaming, which is entirely unrelated to a restaurant manager named Rez Choudhury or the Crazy Crab restaurant.
