AMEN..... That makes me sooooo mad. Next item is having to repeat my order at least 3 times in a McDonalds, then another worker on the payroll has to come over and translate my order. I have walked out more than once, and will continue to do so.
This is BS. I thought one of the requirements to becoming an American Citizen was to be able to speak English. If these people are hired at any fast food place and cannot speak English, that tells me they are NOT legal. And I blame the employers for hiring them in the first place.""
There is a McDonalds in Northridge, in the San Fernando valley, Los Angeles, Calif. at Tampa and Nordhoff. As far back as 17 years ago, they were hiring counter attendants that only could speak Spanish. Then they had a translator with that employee translating from English to Spanish so that that worker could go get your order. A local big name drag race team had their shop within walking distance.
The crew chief had an absolute hissy fit when he tried to order for the team lunch under this set of circumstances. He stopped buying there over the issue. 6-9 guys a day for lunch, one block away. How much did it cost the store, along with the extra translator on the payroll?
I agreed with his hissy fit. I stopped going there, also, and I probably went there 2 times a week.
This isn't just a recent abberation. Employers should be hammered for these decisions.
That many lunches a day? The business lost a lot of revenue. Good for them since they stopped going there.
But it sure is an embarrassment to us to have to put up with people that won't even try to speak English.
