Step your emphasis game up.

It's, "People who can't speak ****ing English".

You have to distribute the power properly.

You are aware that there's no official langauge for a reason, right?

I know the story behind Matrix's post, the customer he was helping was a dick, so I could understand where he was coming from.

But, I do not understand this post at all. Let's same someone immigrates here from China, and their entire life they've spoken Chinese and they don't know the English language, they should leave our country? That's bogus.

We're not fascists, who are we to say what language everyone should speak?

This line of discussion is just steamrolling down some political path.

Soooo...lets go elsewhere, guys. Somebody say something about some jackass driver that cut you off today, or some jar of pickles that didn't open easily.

I'm speaking more towards immigrants who migrate to America, but don't even attempt to learn the English Language.

If you want to come live here, fine. But don't migrate over he and give me **** when I can't understand what you are saying.

Just a few weeks ago. I went to get a soda from a Pizza place in the mall. Some Chinese lady was working the register and I swear to god I stood there for 5 minutes trying to order a soda. Not only did she not speak a word of English, but she didn't even attempt to try and understand what I was saying. I said "Large Mountain Dew" at least 40 times and even pointed at the cup and Mountain Dew logo.

She just looked at me as if I were from Mars.

My bad.

Rose Bowl traffic that will cause me to leave around 8:30 tomorrow morning to make it the stadium for the game at 12:30 pisses me off.

Yeah, sorry for sending this down the political path. Just a douchebag customer who spoke no English at all then bitched at me for not understanding a word he says.

It was funny, I was like "Oh, sorry, you meant five shakes? Sorry, I speak English..."

WTF?

Although yes I agree with DE, learn English. I get someone talking Spanish to me at least 4 times a day at my work. Then bitch about it when I don't speak it.
