I live in the midwest & I am hearing more & more Spainish spoken while I am shopping, & it isn't always just at WalMart. I started eating at a Mexican fast-food restaurant named "Chipolte" about a year ago. They always had Spainish speaking employees on the serving line & in their kitchen. But lately some of their customers are Spainish speaking and they have all driven much better cars than I drive! (That may not being saying much, since I drive an '02 Saturn SL.)

I always want to yell out "SPEAK ENGLISH!", but I am always by myself and they are not and I don't want to be followed to my car when I'm done shopping.

At my job I sometimes have people come up to me and say, "speak Spainish?". I want to respond, "speak English?"

I do respond... NO I do not speak spanish. It is maddening. I have learned enough spanish to understand what they are say (can piece together words), they mock us, and I have been able to call them on it,by asking for manager... that stops them. went thru drive by at MCD with son late evening, Mexican music was blaring and had to repeat order several times , they were to busy singing, and jibbering in spanish. Got home and son just lost it- wrong order. We called asked for manager and told them order was wrong, wrote to McDonalds headqtrs, store. Haven't heard their music again. STOP ME ... ranting again. What part of midwest. Heard Nebraska having same problems
