Yes, you read that right: in English.

"The incident happened on Wednesday night, when Alexandria Montgomery was trying to place an order in English at a Taco Bell drive thru window at 785 East Ninth St. The employee refused to take her order because she wasnt speaking Spanish."

Can you move please? I have an order behind you. There is no one who speaks English, the woman tells Montgomery in the video and threatens to call the police.

This is Hialeah, Im sorry, she said in Spanish."

Dumbass employee was fired and the woman was offered compensation by the Taco Bell restaurant.

Seems to be a reasonable response, no?

That's good to know. Do you think the employee was racist? Do you think someone would be labeled racist if they didn't serve a Spanish speaking customer?

Nope. Everyone there should have been fired, and the lovely black couple should now own all the Taco Bells in Florida. Also a free house and 2 cars.

Taco Bell isn't a Mexican restaurant. You might find this shocking, but people in Mexico don't typically eat/make a cheesy gordita crunch.


It was just voted the best Mexican restaurant in America lol

should be mandatory to speak enough english to perform job, if they want to talk to co-workers in spanish they can.
went yesterday to get a beefy crunch burrito, they're good but they charge 1.66$ each

i could get the same result with some store sour cream and some hot cheetos.
might get the crunchwrap next time (those are filling enough).

You can't just put whatever you want in a taco or burrito and call it Mexican food.


Lettuce, beef and cheese is just whatever? Lol, it's literally Mexican food no matter how you slice it. Is it low grade? Sure. But it IS Mexican food

In an update Montgomery made hours later, she added that Luisa, as the Taco Bell employee identified herself, had been fired and that it was not even her real name.

In a later statement, Taco Bell confirmed: This individual no longer works for the brand.

In addition to that, Montgomery told NBC6 that the chain offered her a $100 gift card in response to the incident.

A gift card is not gonna just solve the problem, its not gonna give me justice, she said. Dont try to like sweep it under the rug.


The lady got fired, just take the hundred dollar gift card and stfu.

Nope. No Cheesy Gordita crunch in Mexico.


Because restaurants in Mexico don't create their own signature dishes? I mean, it might be just your opinion that taco Bell isn't Mexican food but reality disagrees.

The main problem lies within the city Hialeah. Its majority is of mainly Spanish speakers so everyone in that city thinks it's all good to just speak Spanish and fuck the English speakers. The city needs to clean this up.
