“My acquaintance thought that was kind of odd.”
Why, what rock has he been hiding under for the last 20 years?
And, it’s not just the floor sweepers/workers in these grocery stores who speak ONLY espanol. The SHOPPER’S do, as well.
During my recent visit to HEB, I noticed that MANY of the customers spoke spanish, and had the grandma’s and a gaggle of small kids in tow. I asked one lady, in English, if she knew where something was (I can’t remember what the item was) and she said “no English”.
I’ve also noticed many Mexican nationals shopping at the Galleria (Houston)....more than the normal/average amount.
The gates are open, and it’s Olly, Olly in come free. Maybe this explains the apartment boom, all across the country.
I have not been to Miami in over 30 years, but even then there were large areas where no one spoke English.
