"No Speak English"

[rightwinger]

If he doesn't know any by now already, how was he able to score the job in the first place and to keep it for as long as he has had it so far?

God bless you and him always!!!

Because he does dishes

That's the kind of response that I got today when my fiancée and I went out to dinner and I asked for a box for my French fries. This is such a pet peeve of mine. Granted, the man I saw had on an apron so he was probably a dishwasher or something, but if you live and especially work in this country and especially at a place where people might ask you stuff like a restaurant (I asked him for a box because I couldn't find our waitress) then you should speak or learn to speak English. It drives me crazy! (Hopefully he was at least legal though but I just kept my thoughts to myself until we got back in the car)

How far have you traveled from the place where you were born & grew up?

That man has something you don’t have.
A desire to work for a living.

He doesn’t hide behind the fact that he struggles with English to quit on life and demand government assistance

It really is in one's interest to be multilingual. I can't even begin to recall how many times I've relied on it during my traveling years out in the field.

Never ran out of towels. Always got what I needed. And everybody got along just fine.

 

[Road Runner]

Not even close.

Then what did you mean by communication takes two?

How far have you traveled from the place where you were born & grew up?

I live in exactly the same place.

That man has something you don’t have.
A desire to work for a living.

I have the desire just not sure about the capability and my insurance won't allow it.

...

Exactly what I said.

You are in no position to mock a man who is working for a living
You should be ashamed

Since you didn't say Freedom fries, he had every right to toss a diss your way.

 

[Road Runner]

Exactly what I said.

I don't speak Spanish and therefore I can't communicate with him if I don't speak Spanish and I shouldn't be expected to either.

You have Google translate on your phone

Don’t forget to say…..por favor

Well, that I know.

 

[Mr Natural]

Yet another roadrunner whine fest.

You don't have to speak a common language to communicate. Make an effort.

 

[rightwinger]

You don't have to speak a common language to communicate. Make an effort.

Everyone has a phone with Google Translate.
Doesn’t take much effort to find the word you are looking for.

Especially if your fries are that important to you

Umm,...alrighty then.

I have to admit that that's a good point.

You were put out because the dishwasher didn't speak English? Poor little princess.

I heard this joke decades ago and I find it interesting that your post caused it to return to my working memory:

What do you call a person who speaks three languages?
Trilingual

What do you call a person who speaks two languages?
Bilingual

What do you call a person who speaks a single language?
An American

Road Runner, you should try traveling, there is a huge world outside of where you grew up. And believe me, even though it might seem like the sun rises and sets upon where you live, it doesn't.

This "you should travel" crap is insufferably pretentious.

Give him time, he will learn English

Why don’t you just give the guy a break?

I think he did.
