A family are disgusted with a Bradford fast food restaurant after their son was labelled with an abusive term on a receipt delivered with their pizza order.

The Gill family have vowed to boycott Rajas pizza bar in Oak Lane, Manningham, that they have used for more than five years, after the insult appeared on their computerised bill.

Martin Gill, 19, who placed the telephone order, said: “I’m pretty shocked that a company like that can get away with this. I’ve been going there three or four times a month for the past five or six years but I won’t be going back.”

The teenager had just taken delivery of three pizzas at his family home in Oakfield Grove with dad Terry and his partner Michelle Jenkin and brothers Richard, 19 and Darren, 16.

So he was shocked when he saw that under the section for the customer’s name an abusive term had been typed.

A spokesman for Rajas told the Telegraph & Argus the mistake could have happened because of a glitch in the firm’s computer system or it could have been someone playing “a joke”.

But Terry Gill, 56, said: “I’m very annoyed, mainly for my son, because it was him who ordered the pizzas.

“We have been going there for a long time and there has never been any problems with them or anything.”

Mr Gill called into Rajas demanding that they explain the insult.

He said: “I spoke to the guy who is managing the place, I think he is one of the partners in the business and even he said he was disgusted with what had happened and he gave me the number of the senior partner.

“I explained to him that it must have been manually input but he said it was a glitch in the machine. They shouldn’t be doing things like that. I want them to apologise to us and Martin,” he added.

Owner Azis Raja suggested Martin Gill might have used the profanity when ordering the pizzas, a claim he denied.

Mr Raja said he would check the takeaway’s computer system to get to the bottom of the complaint.

“If this has been an error on our part, we really apologise for that,” he said.
