I agree with you Darlene.

Also, I can't understand why an American company, serving American citizens, in America, hires people who can't speak English to answer the phones.

How about the fact that when I pick up a box of soemthing or an instruction manual, I have to SEARCH for the English section!

I hate it even more when they do every paragraph in five languages before moving onto the next paragraph!

Our local Target has double signeage on EVERYTHING, one in English, one in Spanish.

I'm so sick of it.

I wouldn't go to a foreign country and get pi**ed because I can't read or talk over there, I WOULD EXPECT THAT! Why do we have to bend over backwards for every damn minority group in our country? If you don't want to learn to read and speak english then just deal with not knowing whats going on!

I don't know if anyone heard the story a few months ago about the Philadelphia shop owner that has the sign in the window 'Please order in English'. They reserve the right to refuse service if you do not comply. Somehow it made big headlines and caused an uproar. He refused to take the sign down. Good for him!

I agree, I used to work in a phone center and the foreigners would get so mad at us because we couldn't understand them. If you think that was bad we also had a center in India that we would transfer these people too. We used to laugh because we would have to monitor the calls sometimes and it would be one feriner (India) trying to talk to another feriner (Spanish) until one of them would just give up and hang up.

I have hung up a few times. And I deal w/ mostly accident reports at work, and not that I am stereotyping, it seems all the Spanish speaking people seem to get in the most accidents..... just an observation.
