A Florida woman was denied service at a Taco Bell because none of the workers spoke English. Apparently the Chalupa Supreme Combo doesn’t translate South-of-the-border.
Alexandria Montgomery posted a video of the entire incident as it unfolded in the drive-thru of the Taco Bell in Hialeah.
“Nobody here speaks English? Nobody in the back speaks English? So you can’t take my order,” Montgomery said.
At one point another staffer intervened, but that individual claimed not to speak English, too.
“She doesn’t want to help me because she don’t speak English. But you know the menu. You work here, so you would know what I’m talking about if I say I want number six on the menu. You understand what I’m saying? Like, you just don’t completely shut me out cuz you don’t speak English, that’s not fair,” Montgomery said.
Montgomery said Taco Bell later reached out to apologize and offer her a gift card. But perhaps they should be enrolling their staff in an ESL class?
“I understand everyone in Miami doesn’t speak English, and that’s fine, but if she was willing to work with me, I think the outcome would’ve been different,” Montgomery told NBC 6.
In a statement, Taco Bell said that the incident “does not meet our customer experience expectations.”
“We have worked quickly to resolve with the customer to ensure this doesn’t happen again,” Taco Bell wrote to NBC 6.
It seems to me that anyone who moves to America and refuses to learn our language should be deported. Without a common language we can’t have a sovereign nation nor can we order the delicious Cheesy Gordita Crunch.

They did her a favor.
Eric Cartman: Necesito burrito.
Something just doesn’t seem right about this whole thing. I’m guessing this woman is a known pain in the rear end and they probably have had enough of her.
Paging Tom Homan.
Back in 1977 when I lived in South Florida, Broward and Dade counties, there were signs around that said “ENGLISH SPOKEN HERE”, one was in SEARS downtown Miami!...............
I remember the bumper sticker ‘Will the last American leaving Miami remember to bring the flag.’
Lol ain’t that the truth. I learned the hard way NOT to eat there when put for an evening. Evening usually got cut short . Back in the day I could handle it, but as I got older, nope- no w ay!
They gave her a gift card................written in Spanish.............
That won’t keep it from ‘happen again.’
Maybe they are offering her free spanish lessons.
Duolingo is free.
Glenn Bell served me my first Taco Bell meal in 1962, at the first location in Downey, CA. He’d be rolling in his grave if he saw what Taco Bell has turned into.
Well they do win the Franchise Wars.

Back in the early 80s there were some Miami businesses displaying signs stating “English spoken here”.
On of the unknown impacts of migration and the failure to assimilate is that in Tampa and all areas south you can’t get a job without being bilingual. There’s an unexpected barrier to entry level jobs. Meanwhile it doesn’t seem to be an issue if the employee does not speak English. I’ve several times run across that issue. It’s fine if you can just point at an item, but if it’s a service issue, forget about communicating.
