I didn't even watch the video to be honest with you, I don't need to watch it to know the guy is an asshat. Complaints should of been directed to the manager/owner. If it were my place I would of explained to him it's the policy of this establishment that all employees speak English unless it's to the benefit of the customer and if you don't like it there is the door.

Where my wife used to work the employees were required to speak English unless they were on their breaks or lunches and a memo on the bulletin board was placed denoting it. The Spanish speaking employees ripped it off and threw into the trash. Just another sign that they think they are above any laws or rules. Obviously there was no such rule at the sandwich shop or if there was they just ignored it.

I like those employees. The manager who posted that extreme idiocy should have been fired.

So many things wrong with this situation.


A. The man is clearly racist.
B. He assumes they're on welfare.
C. He claims it's HIS country.
D. He lives in the American city most visited by foreigners. Does he not want tourists in NYC anymore? They could be visiting from Spain for all he knows.
E. Along with D., I hope he never visits a foreign country without being fluent in the native language.

Stories like this help restore my faith in mankind:

"Someone crowdfunded a mariachi band, piñatas, and a taco truck to show up outside Schlossberg's offices at a time to be determined."

You must have been asleep when he tried banning even people with valid visas. Even green card holders got detained for hours while the White House decided whether or not to ban them, too.

Trump is absolutely anti-immigrant. He does have a soft spot for mail order brides and Romanian hotel workers though.

When in a social setting and people start talking foreign, it is human nature for those that cannot understand, to jump to many conclusions why the code talk.....
People with low self esteem, will go to that dark area and immediately think they are being talked about.

Trump is in charge of the nations security. If you didn't notice, the USA is in deep with a Holy War.
Sure beats Japanese Endearment Camps. The security of me, my family and my property, deserve more attention than anyones non-American's feelings.


You want cheaper healthcare? Import more doctors, instead of those needing free doctors.

Gotta say, if you live in New York, you are going to hear Spanish spoken all over the place.

Is Melania not receiving free medical care?
