" A large part of their community is Latino"! SO WHAT!!!!
Since when are they the chosen ones!!! If they can't assimilate and speak OUR language, they don't belong here. We are not building a tower of Babel for other ethnicities! And Latinos are the ONLY ones whining and complaining about speaking English!
What would happen if all retailers simply stopped putting up signs in Spanish? No explanations are necessary...English would be implicit! Are they really afraid that the illegals would stop shopping at Target or wherever??? I'm sick of the way these third worlders are coddled! Whose country is this, anyway???? Ooops, don't answer that!
We all need to send letters to Target headquarters...praising them for their decision in DC!

Let's be fair here. You see, we don't need signs in Chinese, Farsi or Vietnamese, etc because their languages are so similar. Spanish is so very different it would require a genius to learn English. Hmmm..... if it's a "Latino" community, can't we agree on Latin?

While I don't often frequent Target, my last experience there really opened my eyes to how bad things are really getting even in PA.....I was looking for large, cellophane basket bags (the kind to wrap Easter baskets in...) and stopped to ask an "associate".....she did not understand a word I said...she obviously only spoke Spanish and was flustered that I asked her a question. She told me in broken English and some Spanish that the garbage bags were in another aisle. I realized that it would be too time-consuming to explain what I was really looking for (as well as really frustrating...I refused to speak to her in Spanish) .....I eventually found the items myself. But, I wrote a note to the mgt regarding that "associate". I hope they pull her off floor duty. She has no business working there if she can't communicate basic information about the location of merchandise in the stores in ENGLISH.

I had to run into the Target in Culver City today...and Saturday's is the absolute worst! When I arrived 4 police officers were handcuffing an entire family of hispanics for shoplifting, and rifling through all of their belongings...that was right out in front of the door. Upon entering, all I could here was kids screaming and crying, parents yelling at them in Spanish, and not ONE word of English anywhere!
I rushed through the store because it was such an unpleasant experience; but, thankfully, most of the cashiers were Black...what a relief! I think I would have exploded if the cashiers couldn't speak English.
Oh, and yes...all the signage was bilingual!

Well, when the manager comes over, I proceed to repeat to him exactly what she had said to her employee! The look on her face was priceless, she had ASSUMED I did not speak or understand Spanish, because I insisted on English. The crowd had gotten bigger. I asked the manager if this was how Walmart treated English speaking customers, because if it was I would leave and never shop there again. He didn't know what to do. I proceeded to tell him that I would never be comfortable in a store where the employees spoke a foreign language around customers. I told him it was rude and offensive. I have never set foot in any Walmart since then.Join our efforts to Secure America's Borders and End Illegal Immigration by Joining ALIPAC's E-Mail Alerts network (CLICK HERE)
