well it's even more annoying when you're the customer and they cant serve you right or understand what you're asking because you dont speak spanish


this also sux for those that go into a vietnamese/chinese restaurant and the server doesnt speak enough english to know what u wanna eat.

so from the sound of it....if you own a chinese restaurant in an english dominated society, you should be able to communicate w/your customers.

how would a chinese restaurant in some city where 95% of the people are nonchinese do if they did not speak english?

you're basically saying dont go to a great restaurant and get any mexican,chinese,vietnamese (etc) food if u cant speak whatever they're speaking.....just stick to the all american meal

those people opened the restaurant just to serve people that can understand them...screw every1 else
