Is it 1 for Spanish and 2 for French before you can press 3?
I love that one... but the best was I went to vote here in So Cal by about 6 years ago... they had cards with phone numbers to where to call if you had problem.
....English voter help was a Sacramento toll number
.... All the other languages voter help each had there own toll free 800 number
“third-generation family members don’t speak English at all”
Whatever you say AC, whatever you say . . .
Our Blockbuster DVD rental store put Spanish signs up: “Entrada”, etc.
A week or so later another bi-lingual sign was
added: “Clerks Do Not Have Access To the Safe”
Yup. This is happening all over. I’m slowly changing my shopping habits to compensate.
I'm in favor of making English the official language of government. But even if that ever happens, stores like "Mejor Compra" can use, print signs, or otherwise conduct business in Spanish or any other language they wish to employ. It's called freedom, and it's the American Way. Como liberdád es no hay otro.
The THD store in my area, stinks. I really don't need much of an excuse to avoid it.
I just want to praise In-n-Out Burgers in California.
I don’t think they hire illegals. Everyone that works there speaks English. There are plenty of races, but they are all very fluent in English, and they don’t mess up my orders.
I love In-n-Out Burgers!
Don’t blame Best Buy because their customer base is increasingly mexican and they only speak spanish, they’re just trying to accommodate who walks through the door. Blame your politicians whom have ignored the problem for 30 years...and still do.
You can also blame all the people not in border states for collectively giving a raspberry to the border states 30 years ago when we tried to get this issue to the for-front and when it could have been easily been solved with only a few million illegals to deal with. I can still remember the responses, like “screw you Californicators” and “it’s YOUR problem Arizona!” and “tough shiite Texas, HAHAH”.
Well, now it’s everyones problem and unfortunately the only solution in DC is to give them all (and their families) amnesty, welfare, Soc Sec, etc. etc..
An Official English law wouldn't help you here, unless you favor the Quebec model of punishing businesses that post signs in any language but French.
Loved it Snoopers!
An English as official language law would do nothing about signs in a Best Buy.
Up here in Vermont we have lots of products and signs that are bilingual (French & English) I never thought it was a big deal.
