That's the part that stuck out to me. Assuming they don't understand english, how the does he expect them to read it?If they can't speak English, does he expect them to read it?
Not at all ... it's rather ethnocentric to assume that in a foreign county these people need to be speaking anything other than their native tongue. I'd just be afraid if I tried to order anything other than an enchilada in a different language, I'd end up with something covered in magical unicorn mayonnaise.

Did you watch Robot Chicken last night?
Bravo to him for having the balls to stand up to the wimp ass politically correct crowd, that I see has invaded this board as well...
"OOOo thats sooo offensive"
Im offended by people that are offended. Thats my new organization.
Pobptao.
Funny, I went back and re-read the entire thread, and not a single person said they were offended or that it was offensive.

Slomo rocks!
Its just another way to get attention. That's all this guy wanted and he got it. Too bad he had to stoop to that level. As long as people pay him he shouldn't care. He's in business to make money. Not to teach an English lesson.
Do you hear Mexicans in Mexico complain about the gringo not speaking Spanish? No. They don't care as long as they have pesos (money for those of you who don't understand).
Umm... they don't about the gringo who doesn't speak Spanish. They about the gringo who gets all pissy because they don't speak English.
Muy bien dicho
Well it's his place. Guess he can run it like he wants to. He
didn't seem to be hurting for business.
Gee, was this predictable or what?
Maybe it's my lack of customer service experience in heavily non-English-speaking areas, but I'm having trouble imagining a scenario where this would be a lot of trouble.
Do people complain if you're unable to help them because they don't speak English? Doesn't the discussion normally go as follows...
"Me gusta una..."
"Sorry, no hablo Espanol"
"Okay, lo siento"
What's the big deal? Does anyone really insist on having their order taken in Spanish?
I suppose, if the two parties really had no comprehension of the other's language, it could go something like...
"Yo quiero un..."
"English only, please."
"Que?"
"What?"
"Que?"
"What?"
"Que?"
"What?"
"Que?"
"What?"
"Que?"
"What?"
"Que?"
"What?"
"Que?"
"What?"
"Que?"
"What?"
"Que?"
"What?"
... and so on.
I wouldn't be shocked only because the French are pricks. Is that what we aspire to?

On Friday alone, he [Vento] granted interviews to five TV programs and seven radio talk shows across the country, said his son, Geno Vento. But he would not talk to The [Philadelphia] Inquirer.
As several TV crews milled about working the lunchtime crowd, the elder Vento walked past with an entourage and said: "I don't want to talk to you. Fuggedabou ."
He did talk, two weeks ago.
In an hourlong interview, Vento expressed hostility toward illegal immigrants, mainly from Mexico, who have moved into his old neighborhood.
"You can't call them 'illegal.' You got to call them 'undo ented,' " said the Shamong resident. "Give me a break."
He described illegal border crossers as sources of crime and drains on hospitals, schools, and other public services. It's "wrong, wrong, wrong that a Mexican girl comes here to pop a baby" who is automatically a U.S. citizen, Vento said.
"A lot of diseases are coming in" with illegal Mexican immigrants, he said at the time. "They weren't here before. [Mexicans] play and drink out of the same water."
Vento, whose grandparents came from Italy, did acknowledge the prejudice that immigrants face. "Every group goes through this: 'We don't want no dagos, no wops here,' " he said
Some americans can be re ed to no end.
Why doesn't his sign say:
"THIS IS AMERICA, WHEN ORDERING, SPEAK ENGLISH... AND ENJOY A HOT PLATE OF FREEDOM FRIES WITH A SIDE OF FREEDOM TOAST. OH YEAH, IF YOU'RE ASIAN, BE PREPARED TO BE THROWN INTO A 'FUN' CAMP."
It's one thing to go against the PC and another to be a red blooded ignorant racist.
Geez, aren't we the smart one here.Im offended by people that are offended. Thats my new organization.
ohhhhhhhh. I understand now. He;s afraid of cooties."A lot of diseases are coming in" with illegal Mexican immigrants, he said at the time. "They weren't here before. [Mexicans] play and drink out of the same water."
what a ign mental midget.
