I guess I have to ask.....

If I walk into a restaurant in Italy...and nobody in the restaurant can understand me...wouldn't they not serve me?

The fact that this is on a news site here in America is baffling to me.

Do the Mexican menu items at the Hialeah Taco Bell have such wildly different names "in Spanish" such that the employees could in no way figure out what she was ordering?

I am guessing the rest of the story is the customer was being a dumb rude abnoxious bitch while placing the order and said something along the lines of, “Do you speak English?”

So when she got around to the side of the building the manager said to go somewhere else because she doesn’t speak English.

That’s straight bullcrap because i have been in the same situation.

Left the Miami airport and stopped at a gas station and the clerk stated she only spoke Spanish.

I pointed at my drink, held up money, and pointed at the register display and she proceeded to say she did not speak English in Spanish.

I finally got aggravated and laid a few dollars down on the counter and walked out.

She called the police and spoke English pretty dang well. Nothing much happened because i actually paid for the drink and the officer told her that she was being a bigot and should serve all customers and stop saying she didn’t speak English when the call takers at dispatch would beg to differ.

I was pretty amazed at the whole incident

If this happened to me, I'd have to laugh, "are you serious", and then just leave.

The fact that this makes news and that the customer reacted that way just further proves this is a horribly over the top attention seeking society.
