If the owners do not speak "spanish", (more like bastardized pigeon spanish/indian/english) and neither do their American employees, just HOW are they expected to take ACCURATE orders in "spanish"?
Are they mandated to hire only employees who speak "spanish", paying them extra for their additional "skill"? So much for equal opportunity!
I have a firearms business, and I will not deal with anyone who cannot speak clear U.S. English.
If they cannot speak the language they cannot answer questions I am required to ask (under federal law), they cannot fill out the necessary paperwork without likely errors, and a "mistake" on the form 4473 can get them busted for a felony.
Allowing them to purchase a firearm when there is ANY reason to doubt they were truthful can land ME in a felony charge situation.
There are "spanish" version form 4473's available (there should not be) but I do not have any, and do not want them. I do not speak "spanish" and I never will, so there is no way for me to know that the answers given on a "spanish" 4473 are accurate or truthful.
If anyone wants to fully partake of the U.S. experience, weather it is cheese sandwiches or the second amendment, let them become citizens and learn to speak U.S. English!
I'm sorry but that is ridiculous. By this logic any and all tourists to this country would have to learn English well enough to go anywhere or do anything. Have you ever visited another non-English speaking country? If not, I guarantee you that in most other places you go you will not be required to speak their language to go into a store and order food. If that were the case I would never would have been able to go anywhere during the seven years I spent in Europe. Instead I was able to go wherever I pleased. If I was in a place where I didn't know the language well enough I was never thrown out or refused service.
Besides, I hope you realize that immigrants who have come here legally did not all arrive in this country speaking perfect English. In fact, many of them knew no English at all upon arrival. My grandparents are a perfect example. They came here legally and spoke virtually nothing but Maltese, but over time learned English and became US citizens.
I understand your point about your firearms business and how you will only deal with customers who speak English. But we are talking about sandwiches here, not weapons. I hope you can see the big difference.
