If they have the balls to come here and live off of my money I pay for their welfare, I pay for their ability to be here, he went on, breathlessly. The least they could do the least they could do! is speak English.


I mean, obviously, they aren't on welfare since the whole fucking point was that they were working at the time. What a fucking tool.

A Jewish lawyer in New York was caught berating Spanish-speaking workers at a Manhattan restaurant and threatening to call immigration agents on them in a clip shared widely on social media.

It should be a requirement for Americans to be bilingual anyway. It is a desirable job skill, and most Europeans speak 2 or 3 languages.

Have people here actually seen the video? He seems to be complaining because they were talking to him and other customers in Spanish.

Having lived in NYC before, it's definitely not unheard of. Sometimes the people will just straight up start speaking Spanish. And many times, they'd just start insulting you because they heard you wrong or got your order wrong, despite 100% knowing you gave the right order. And since I know a good amount of Spanish, I would always know what they're saying.

I literally had a dude back in the day call me a motherfucker because I paid $3 in quarters back in college.

It really is not unreasonable to ask people to speak English at work in America

I could understand wanting the staff at a restaurant to speak English in a predominantly English speaking country but this shit here....

Angry that staffers at a Fresh Kitchen in Midtown Manhattan were speaking Spanish rather than English, a man threatened to call Immigration and Customs Enforcement after going on a rant saying restaurant staff should be speaking English.

The only time I get annoyed with this stuff is when somebody comes up to me and starts speaking in Spanish, assuming I understand what the hell they're saying. This happened at least 2-3 times a month when I worked at a video store in high school (shut up, I'm old).

It's rude for people in the service industry to speak to each other in a language customers can't understand. That's about the extent of it though. It's hardly a crime against humanity.

Tangent / funny story: I knew a guy that did driver's license exams and he failed this French woman. She turned to her friend and, in French, said something like "he's just racist against French people." He replied back (in French) "I guess I'd have to hate my whole family then too." (he doesn't have any trace of an accent in English). She got pissed and stormed out.

Its not reasonable to be upset that an employee is talking to another customer or a coworker in a different language. That's just idiotic. You? Fine, if you want to get upset about that that would be reasonable...but if they aren't even speaking to you and this is how you react you aren't being reasonable at all. mind your business and fuck off.

Then started screaming about racism because I had said a racist N word... <_< I had told the plate builder to set up three black plates with bread and fries... In Spanish...

To all who don't know: The Spanish word for the color "black" is "negro" (Neh-groh). It is the name of the color #000000.

I have zero clue what it is about other languages that cause people to throw such a shitfit. Like, if you're paranoid about people talking smack about you, people do that anyway; it's called whispering or even just talking out of your earshot. Do these people rage every time they see two servers move close to say something quietly to each other? Confront everyone in the street who does thsout out their conversations in English?

Like holy fucking shit I don't know how people like this survive
