Walked into a drugstore yesterday and the "lady" told me how much it would be, I could not understand her ?Spanish?, asked her again, still the same - she turned the screen around and pointed to it - REALLY - this is still America. One can only wish! But to give credit the lady is WORKING - not using our system.
Do they have to dial “1” for Spanish in Mexico?
I didn’t think so.
Trump has no use for the Constitution or Founding Fathers, so anything is possible.
My Grandfathers parents came from Norway, but he never learned Norwegian. English only, except for saying “ja” instead of yes. My mom says it, too. Even I do occasionally.
It’s just the way it was done-you assimilated.
You may want to adjust your assumption about someone’s working and not accepting the dole. There are more than just a few working AND taking the handouts as a well. This is not limited to persons of color either.
Maybe the time has come for a Trump because of all the damage of the last 7 years.
Yeah, you became an American. What magic.
Missing now.
Yes, it’s nice that she’s working, but she’s taking a job an American could have had.
When you get that “Press 1 for English “ beesnip, I hope you do as I do,i.e., express disapproval in a polite but firm manner to the manager.
Adopted by an Austrian lady who grew up in a warzone; in her 80's she still gives me the occasional order and automatically the heels click: "Jawohl!!"
That would require Trump to learn English—which would be yuge.
I was at Disney World in February, traveling alone, and occasionally stopped to ask someone if they would take my picture in front of a Disney landmark. No kidding — I usually had to ask a few times before I found someone who spoke English.
We could start by not having taxpayers pay for gov’t mandated interpreters for services. I used to teach ESL to adults and it was amazing how long some of those people lived here and still didn’t know basic survival English.
Rusty - that sounds like a fabulous idea to me! In addition to the practical factors, it kind of sends the right message.
I had an incident at a Jack in the box, ended up me loudly telling the help they needed to learn English. You could have heard a pin drop in there. Then I called the corporate office and complained. They just sent me coupons for free food.
A lot of Hispanics fought on our side in Texas and California, so I don’t think wiping out history is a good idea.
I usually just hang on and it usually comes back to English. Didn’t work when I called the IRS.
California has hundreds of Mexican names.
As a child I lived for several years in El Toro, and before that Mission Viejo.
After that, San Mateo county.
It would be quaint if not for all the mexicriminals infesting the state.
Don’t be mad at our ancestors who kept the mexi names. Be mad at the elites who are replacing us with primitive 3rd world savages as part of an orchestrated attack on our people.
I was at a wedding in San Antonio and sat next to an old Mexican who spoke no english despite having snuck into America in the 1940s.
I found that repulsive and the antithesis of what makes us great.
He and all like him must be excreted if we are to survive as a culture and a Nation.
If I moved to a foreign country the first thing I would do is learn their language. I would not dream of demanding interpreters, in order to get free benefits of all things. That is just total disrespect for the taxpayers. We are just stupid.
