119. English IS our National language
in case you don't know History. :think: I'm not making up shit and I am not diluting shit either. Were you born here? You are trying to force the Spanish language.
Every Country on Earth has a National language. No one is going to all of a sudden change for some people that refuse to deal with that fact.

Look, the guy's place is probably very busy. He is going to get business whether he takes the time to change someone else's diaper, or not. He just does not want to deal with it.
Those are facts you must face. And that is the reality of business. There are many restaurants just like this. And you are assuming that every customer is a polite and innocent person.
How do you know that he did not put up this sign over a few mouthy assholes? Note the sign below the language sign notes that he reserves the right to refuse service.
That is usually what a restaurant does to rude and demanding people.

Have you ever thought that it was bad character for a person to actually take someone to Court over this?

The last restaurant I worked in did not sell burritos. Work at a Mexican restaurant and you should learn a little Spanish. Personally I never had the problem of waiting on someone who did not know the English language. And you damn right I know why all of the Spanish people are working in the back, not the front, that's because they are illegal and neither they nor the owner wants INS troubles.
And BTW if someone cannot even READ fucking English (or speak it) how can I point out anything in a menu to them? :wtf:

The reality is, if you go to another Country, you learn how to speak their language. If you have a problem learning and it takes a little time, do not whine and demand special favors.

I'm afraid that when Democrats aggressively push issues like this it gives them a bad name.
