Chances are that if you wanted to spend a long time in another country, you’d want to learn some of the language. If moving there due to a job or other reason, perhaps a more detailed, in-depth study and practice of the destination country’s language.
Dito for those who want to come to the United States or to another English-speaking country.
A couple were in the mood for some Taco Bell. They rolled into the drive through, just like they’d do at any other drive through, in order to place their order.
There was a problem though.
The employee at the Taco Bell drive through claimed that she didn’t speak English. The customer tried to reason with her, even schooled her on how she could be doing her job. The employee still insisted that she didn’t speak English.
From Fox News:
After getting nowhere, Montgomery asks to speak with a manager.
The employee, who identifies herself in the video as Luisa, replies in Spanish: “She is in her house sleeping,” in a dismissive tone before saying “Honey, I have a car behind you,” and closing the window.
Towards the end, the customer asks, in English, what the employee’s name was.
Luisa answered, despite claiming that she didn’t speak English. She couldn’t even use this as a, “Well, that’s a common English question that folks know.” Unless the signs and menu in the restaurant are all in Spanish… Or they honestly don’t speak English.
Their community identifies mostly as Hispanic or Latino.
However, someone representing the minority in that community had to have visited that restaurant while Luisa worked there. Or, is this a case where they, and their customers, only spoke Spanish at that specific Taco Bell?
