I don't see how it could be discrimatory, they have "We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone" signs around here. I hope this catches on I need to get some signs for the garage, or maybe a tee-shirt.

Personally I dont see the need for the english only sign. If you come in to my establishment and order up services in any language other than english I am gonna stand there and stare at you, cuz I have NO IDEA what you are wanting. Seems like that would be a bit of a stalemate.

Truth be told I might be able to speak a bit of french and a bit of dutch if hard pressed :shifty:

Man, I LOVE Philly Cheese Steak >>> If'n there ain't any green peppers on it !
:big-tongue2:
How complicated could it be to take an order in Spanish ?
Lost $$$ as far as I'm concerned.
Tu no hablas espanol, you lose.

Although I'm a big fan of it, English isn't the official language of the US.

I don't like having to press 1 to hear the automated thing speak english though.

English isn't the official language of the US.

And how did you come up with that conclusion?

America doesn't have an official language although English is the native language for 80-85% of Americans and the mid to upper 90 percentile can speak English.

I imagine that soon someone will get sued for requesting that no cell phones be used in their store
