But, it is troublesome that someone that's lived in this country since 1992 is not comfortable with basic conversational English to conduct everyday business.
If I moved to a foreign country that didn't speak English, it's on me if I don't learn the new language, and no one's going to bend over backwards to accommodate me.
Not all Miami residents like that linguistic imbalance. Some don’t talk about their discontent, some whisper it, and a few say it loudly. That third group may include a young UPS Store employee in Kendall, which has a good-sized Hispanic population.

Rude and unprofessional service =/= racism or discrimination. (in my opinion only)
Based on what I've seen so far, I don't believe the clerk kicked her out because she spoke only Spanish.
Oh look, It's the "you must speak English in my country or get the hell out" thread of the month. Gather all ye bigots and post how these people are ruining your life.
