People on my side don't want to hear this, but Joey Vento *is* acting worse than the French. Imagine if you visited another country and were refused service because you didn't speak the language 100% correctly. That's what Vento is doing.
I understand why Joey Vento is upset about illegal immigration. I agree with him. He also has the right to do whatever he wants with his business. That being said, the man's an ass.
When did native Philadelphians start speaking English anyway?
I don't speak Spanish, but I can go to any Spanish-speaking-only restaurant and order in Spanish.
"Dos tacos. Uno Coke." Thank you Sam the Sham and the Pharos.
All a Spanish speaking person needs to learn to order at Pat's are 6 English words "One Cheesesteak all the way and one Coke."
"Coke" is a universal word.
LOOKIN AT YOUR tag line - I'd say u were a little below the belt yourself !
Ever try to order dinner in Paris speaking english? The waiter will just ignore you or poke fun at you.
If you can read Vento's sign, guess what? You know ENGLISH!
Where are you getting your info?
I didn't see anything in the article about ordering in PERFECT English.
He is just saying his employees aren't fluent in Spanish.
Tell me something...Do YOU take phone calls from people who speak to you in languages you do not understand?
I'm not sure what "your side" is.
You know how to take cheesesteak orders in how many languages? Pashtun? Uzbek? You should head to a small roadside food stand in Turkmenistan and try telling them in english you want your lamb balls without onion.
They send Americans to the back of the line if they don't order correctly. With lines running down the block they don't have time for fooling around, but you want them to take five minutes to figure out what the heck someone who doesn't speak english is asking for?
At least you got one thing right; it is his business and he's got a right to do what he wants.
Is it really that difficult to learn the words, "Provolone wit', one Coke"?
I heard him on Glenn Beck. He does not refuse service to illegal immigrants. He wants them to, and will help them order, in English - or Philly English such as it is.
I think if the French just put up a sign people wouldn't be so ticked off at them.
I wouldn't mind one bit. Because I would consider myself superior. That's the way I go through life. Try it. It's great for self-esteem, if you need a lift (I don't).
Does that make Pat an ass too?
BTW If you don't know where Pat's is, your the ass!
Considering the fact that you are supporting that corrupt RINO Giuliani, I must say that your judgement in at least two areas should be called into question. ;-)
