SSgt Robert Jorgensen - Staff; Since the "policy" was NOT to "refuse service" if the service was asked for in other than English NOR was it telling the staff that they SHOULD NOT reply in English if they were spoken to in Spanish, making out a "discrimination" case is going to be difficult.
Can you imaging the response of the hearing if the witness says "Cuando le pregunté dónde estaba el baño, dijo "Over there." en lugar de "Allá" y sentí que estaba siendo discriminado." ["When I asked where the bathroom was he said "Over there" rather than "Allá" and I felt that I was being discriminated against."]?

Por favor quiero un helado. The use of English is encouraged, but apparently not mandated... are we sure this whole thing isn't just an elaborate publicity stunt?

That just means it's been a successful publicity stunt. When it comes down to it, how many businesses encourage the use of English only in the workplace, without outright banning the use of foreign languages? My guess is it's true for most business. It's certainly true for every place I've ever worked.

Another issue out of nothing. Someone got butt hurt so they literally want to make a federal case out of it. You know what I want. I want the Federal Government to stop wasting money on stupid shit. This is so fucking simple. If the business offends you, go get your custard somewhere else. Problem solved. That is how it should work. Decide with your wallet. Let me decide with my wallet. STOP BEING SUCH SOFT SKINNED PUSSIES!!!!
