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.

The owner is guessing that his business from anti-"diversity" people will pick up more than his business from Spanish only customers will decline. He may not even have any Spanish business.

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 disagree. this is a marketing dream. I would like to see the revenues. I bet it's sales of increased tenfold. Contrary to popular belief the Mexicans are not yet a majority of the population. And contrary to the RINO's view immigration is not a zero sum gain. By excluding the few you do not automatically lose money or votes. If the many see and respond favorably to your efforts you come out ahead in money and votes.
