Well, we're not allowed to get too bad, so I don't really have any good zingers. :) The kitchen isn't closed off from the dining area, so any insults run the risk of being heard by customers.
Still, I didn't really mean racial slurs or homosexual slurs specifically. It can be simple things, too. Like this one high school kid I work with. He asked one of the waitresses last night why her shoes looked like shit. They were pretty dirty, as they're prone to get when you work in a restaurant. He was just giving her a hard time about it, but she really got offended. He never even noticed the effect he had on her, even though she gave him an indignant tirade response. He just went off to give the next person a hard time.
People need to realize that some people will take them seriously. It's not a matter of the other person being stuck up or "too PC". They just don't get that you're joking, and then they think you're an asshole. I classify it as failed communication. :)
