At last sanity has taken a great leap in our politically correct battle. Bravo to Mr Vento and the Philadelphia Commission on Human Relations. If customers can read the
sign, then it is implied that they understand English and should be able to speak it, right!? Somebody needs to boot Joseph Centeno off the panel, though. This is liberalism to the extreme. Hopefully, more cities will find the courage to make these sane, though controversial, decisions.
God Bless America.

Politically correct bullshit aside, some idiots need to be discouraged from attempting to eat a real Philly cheesesteak.

“Poverty of goods is easily cured; poverty of the mind is irreparable.”

When you guys go to France, Italy, Japan, Korea etc… do you order in their language or do you expect them to make accomodations if they take your money?

Hawk, when I go out of the country, I usually bring an English-(German, French, etc.) dictionary.  They make them phonetic so any dipshit can use them.

I would suppose the accomodation I would expect from someone taking my money would be, gee, I don’t know, maybe the food I ordered.

So if you were in a resteraunt in Thailand you would be able to immediately be able to order a complex meal from the server. 

I doubt it.  What you would do would point to the picture they generally have and say the thai word for please. 

But I applaud you for making the effort.

So, Hawk… exactly how many different languages are you suggesting a Philly cheesesteak joint should print their enormous menu in, anyway?

By the way, how DO you say “Philly cheesesteak” in French… or German… or Japanese… or Thai?

I am not suggesting the print in any more languages.  Where in the article does it ever suggest he should?  I am saying that if somebody wants to give you money for your service you should accept the order any way they can convey it.  If it requires pointing and sign language so be it.

Hawk:  I live a few miles away from GINO’S, Joey Vento’s shop. No one was ever denied service there, in spite of the sign.

However his business has gone through the roof since the HRC dust-up. He has had to hire extra help!

I wish more businesses required their customers speak English. Rob could afford to lose the weight.

Hey, if you’re going to make a fat joke, at least make some sense ok?

Like “I wish more businesses would deny fat people service, Rob could afford to lose the weight.”

See?  Now that made sense.

By the way, I’m on the second week of my diet right now.  I’ve lost about a pound and a half, but I have started the exercise regiment yet just the “eating better” part.

Thanks for your concern.

Todd could lose twenty pounds of ugly fat if he’d just cut off his head!

Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.
