Correct. It is authoritarianism.

but it is ok to bribe them to speak spanish? And you have the nerve to ask me what my problem is?
I don't need nerves to put you in place. Having said that, they are giving you a choice. You can use it, or not. The sky won't fall. Keep walking, if you must.

Should I say something about lefties always looking for their free handouts? Of course not, only you are allowed to make such attacks, right?
Please proceed with attacks. It won't be anything new from you. And then don't go crying to moderators for having been attacked. Trust me, I prefer that you attack and be open to taking the rebuttal, than take it to the moderators. So... about that hand outs... it is a business decision. Can't digest it? That would be your personal problem.

Chicagonut is one of those who automatically assume, Hispanic = Illegal Alien.

However if a private business wants to advertise what amounts to a Ladies Drink Free night why not?

Uh no it's not. It plain and simple about penetrating the Hispanic market.
More than just that previously they were accepting payment in Pesos.

Good Marketing. Dallas pizzeria gets free national marketing.

I'll buy a pizza from Pizza Patron sometime.

I dont think anyone here has said they shouldnt be allowed to do this, but that doesnt mean it cant be questioned. Unlike lefties who actually sued a philadelphia company for requiring they speak english.

The difference of course is no one is demanding they stop, on the contrary, I said we should do our part to help them.

Your post gives away your attitude.

Its exactly the same as a free ladies night. Marketing 101

So they took pesos how did that harm you or this country in anyway?

I have about 20 dollars in pesos left over from a trip to Cabo, am I undermining American society in any way?

I prefer Italian over Spanish. However, around here Cajun French is more common.

Geno's was stupid because they never took into account tourists. Not all tourists speak English and one would think that Philly being a pretty good tourist area that they would capitalize on that but instead they chose not too. It's their choice.

Same with this Pizza place. If they want to give away pizza to people who order in Spanish then so be it. You can either a) learn Spanish to get a free pie b) not go or c) pay for your pizza. If one of the previous three are too difficult for you to handle then getting free pizza is the least of your worries.
