Well, when I was visiting in Mexico, I ordered in English. I'm not sure a retail outlet should be alienating customers. But I suppose there are going to be Soup Nazis and they'll survive. I'm just more interested in making money. But that's just me.
Well, despite appearances to the contrary, this is the United States, not Mexico.
Exactly. It is a stupid policy for this store to implement. But if people are offended by it then just don't go there. If he starts losing money/customers because of this you can be sure he will not keep it up. It is not anyone's "right" to get a cheesesteak from Gino's. And I mean come on, it's Philadelphia, there are literally thousands of other places, that are more concerned with making money, to get a cheesesteak.
I suspect his business will do just fine due to picking up business from people who appreciate his stance.
Probably not the best business plan, but it's not for the Courts to decide.
God bless this man for realizing that some things in this life and in this country exceed the "value" of money. No one wants to be poor or live in poverty but not everything is weighed against the dollar.
I used to do a LOT of foreign travel.
Japan, So. Korea, Taiwan, Italy, England and Scotland*.
In every one of those countries there were business people who spoke passable to fluent English. Most often the upper management of the companies all spoke English, if not they had staff who's job was to accurately interpret for them.
Speaking English allowed them to conduct business in the language of worldwide success.
Restaurants and hotels had English speaking staff, so as to attract English speaking customers (and charge higher prices for their convenience).
If I had been in these countries to take up residency, take a citizens job, and demand benefits properly reserved to their own citizens, I would have expected and deserved a swift kick in the ass followed by deportation!
It's one thing to expect a company or service business to cater to special needs for tourist or business partners, it's quite another for invading aliens to demand special accomodation from a small business for a simple snack.
*Scotland, where the worst accent heavy, nearly unintelligible "English" was spoken.
Soup Nazi is an extreme comparison.
Correct me if I'm worng...but isn't business getting (justly) ripped for their willingness to surrender our national soveriegnty and culture that have birthed the environment that makes them rich? Aren't they getting ripped for knowingly breaking our laws and hiring illegals?
Well, here comes a business owner with his priorities as an American CITIZEN in proper perspective and doing what all should do. Helping encourage ASSIMILIATION.
He's right, you are not.
Well if they sue this business for not speaking Spanish, then can we sue a businees in the US where no one speaks English? I know of several in my area.
I wonder why people have never made a big deal about establishments that forbid hats. I wear a baseball cap. It is THE American hat. I am not some wierdo. I didn't learn this somewhere elese, and try to bring it into this society. I AM the norm. Yet, MANY bars & restaurants that I go to deny me entrance unless my hat is off. I have yet to see ANY of those establishments demand that a jewish person remove their beanie, or a muslim women remove their head dress. I am 31 now. i used to automatically remove my hat. I guess i have had enough. I will no longer give my business to these people. By not demanding a beanie to be removed or a head dress, this is showing me one thing. This person making the request is ignorant. they are PERCEIVING the beanie and the headress to be religious. Maybe it is, maybe it isn't. JUST LIKE MY BASEBALL CAP! Yet they don't hesitate to make demands on me, and wouldn't DARE make the same demand on them. This is sometimes a case of, once again, proving that in our society, ANYONE can do or say ANYTHING to a white male with NO repurcussions. FYI, there are probably in excess of 50,000 religions in this world of ours. With new ones being born (made up) everyday. To instantly associate one article of clothing with a religion, and not even think for a second that another article of clothing could ever be religios, that is the epitomy of IGNORANCE.
