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
When I was in high school I took French because I had some Edgar Allen Poe short stories that had little French by-lines at the beginning of the story and I was interested in Art. I thought learning Spainish would be more practical but was not attracted to Mexico. I'm glad I took French, but wish I had taken Spainish too.
I think I should write to "Chipolte" also. A couple of years ago I went to the first one that opened, asked the server if guacamole was extra, and she said "guacamole?" and slapped some on my burrito. When I got to the register I explained what happened, and the manager, who was on the register, said there was no charge today, but I would know for next time. He said it in a way that gave me the impression he thought I was tricking his non-English speaking employee. I have NOT been back to that restaurant since. I went to the "Chipolte" that I now go to the other day and the young and pretty cashier and an older man had a longer conversation in Spainish than was necessary and I got to wait while they chit-chatted. Yep, I need to write them.
A side note, I've heard that Chipolte is owned by McD...
