I seriously doubt that Spanish will disappear. Far too many from south of our border here both legally and illegally. Spanish speakers are adamant about using Spanish as their primary language of usage. As for this employee in Florida I assume that they were Cuban. They have turned Miami into little Havana where you can't even get a job unless you speak Spanish. So much for assimilation to English by Spanish speakers. Ain't gonna happen.
No doubt. They long ago put up signs in English and Spanish at the metro parks here 1600 miles from the Mexican border. You see bilingual in all kinds of places now.
English should be the official language so that everyone else won't be required or pressured to print multilingual.

It's so funny though that some people want to force English being the official language of a country, where it's own name is rooted in Italian, which some people argue is a sister language to Spanish.
Taco Bell is drunk food. Specifically after long nights of drinking copious amounts of cheap liquor that you know you're gonna get a hellish hangover from.
You don't lie. In my area, it's either the numerous Taco Bells that are open late, or Havanas in West Palm Beach located on S Dixie Hwy and Forest Hill Blvd (anyone visiting WPB, and need some good food after a nights out drinking, this is the place to go!)

Blah blah English is rooted in the nearby Germanic or Frisian languages. French and Italian sound pleasant enough to me but just as unintelligible. Spanish probably sounds okay the way Europeans speak it but definitely not the way most latin Americans here do, but it's still unintelligible to an English only person.
How do you know? She didn't speak any English on the video. I would have just left as opposed to argue about it.
You didn't read through the thread, did you?
The woman asked, "What is your name?" and she immediately responded, "Luisa".
And Brave New World posted a video where a reporter asked one of the employees if everyone in the store spoke English and the employee said yes.
But beyond that - common sense should prevail here. NO global, publicly-traded company is going to hire employees in the U.S. who do not speak English.

And Hispanics are quickly outbreeding English speaking Americans on a grand scale, so how long before the USA is once again dominated by Spanish culture?

Probably not long since we have open borders. That's the idea isn't it? Hispanics are colonizing America too, not satisfied with 1 and 1/3 of the two American continents. The only question is how long before they turn it into another latin American dystopia?
This is America! Y'all don't take over the whole population!
I loved it.
