Was in Philly a month ago. Made a point of getting a cheesesteak at Geno's for just this reason.
Ya, I know exactly what you mean. I was there about 3 months ago, and made a point of stopping by there myself...Awesome cheesesteaks! Joey was an awesome guy...he gave out free pens with the company logo and all (still have mine). I loved the place so much, that I bought a shirt that said "I'm an American, so I order in English." I live in Canada, so you can bet how that will be received by my professors! Great guy...hope he wins this one.
I have no idea why I would find myself in Philly, but if I do ever go there - I too will make a point to go there for a sammich...
This "case" is just another part of the amazing conspiracy against the US. As a private business owner, he should be able to serve whatever food he wants to - using WHATEVER LANGUAGE HE WANTS TO! If a Mexican Restaraunt were to open and put a sign up that reads:
YOU ARE IN A MEXICAN RESTERAUNT, PLEASE ORDER IN SPANISH
I would not be offended - and those who didn't like it would eat elsewhere- that is how our market system is suppose to work (not to mention the free speech issues).
If I were to open an Italian resteraunt and have a menu completely in Italian, and expect my customers and employees to use Italian, then that should be my right.

Compare this story to the pizza chain in the Dallas Metro area that decided a couple of months ago to accept Pesos as currency.... (of course, they did accept dollars too!).
Then again - would someone explain when property rights (along with free speech) became an endangered species here in the US? What was the defining moment? I am sure that many things have contributed to the situation we are in.... but there is bound to be some specific at or decision that really marked the beginning of the end of our rights...
Same here although it was 2 months ago. Best I've ever had. Made me almost want to move to Philly.
Just like Chicago style pizza is only good in Chicago real Philly cheesesteak has to be gotten in Philly.
Great...wishing I could have done the same.
Speak and write English. Eat hoagies. Stop the stoppage of assimilation in our nation. Stand up against illegal immigration, stand for English as the National lingo. Stand against Mexifornia.
