Just caught this thread and that is exactly what I was wondering. Unless the restaraunt does trade under the name 'Jew Couple' it would hardly make sense for this to appear on the credit card statement.

That said, I still see several reasons why this is insulting.
  • Calling two people 'Jew Couple' reduces them to nameless stereotypes and doesn't consider them as people
  • Call people whatever the hell weird shit you want behind their back. Call them something odd or off kilter to their face, that's an insult.
