They dont speak English at Subway anymore

[BJJ-Blue]

So after a long day at work, me and the wife were moving another load of stuff from our old place to our new place. We decided to stop at Subway to grab dinner. There were two girls working the counter making the sandwhiches. And one didn't speak English!!!! No one word. The other girl had to translate everything to her. This is flat out ridiculous that in the United States of America people have to speak Spanish to order a **** sandwich. I'll be calling the complaint line and the manager today.

Subway is disgusting. That was your first mistake.

Jokes aside.

I've had people call me at work who don't speak English and when I tell them that no one in the office speaks Spanish they are incredulous:

"Why no speak Spanish this America everybody speak Spanish. . ."

Welcome to the reconquista. All things being equal it makes perfect sense.

As I've said previously we should just annex Texas to Mexico; Southern California already is. . .

I mean, do we really need the southwest?

SoCal is going to break off and sink into the Pacific any day now; I would just be happy to see the destruction of Orange County.

Don't even get me started on Arizona. They are like Texas's retarded kid brother.

If you live in territories that were, historically speaking, very recently a part of Mexico... why does this surprise you?

You should be able to speak Spanish if you live in any of those areas. It's not their fault... they were there first.

I'm just wondering how she survived the job interview. If you are working for Subway, you should be bilingual in a place like that. You should skip the manager (because he/she was the one who hired them anyway) and contact the regional office. If that girl ended up working alone, you'd end up with a lot of angry customers.

Again, not surprising, seeing as these people never left when the US annexed the land... but for something as customer oriented as Subway, this should not have happened.

By that logic most of Europe should be speaking Latin.

The manager was not very helpful. The regional office was very receptive and promised to take care of the problem.

Look, the bottom line is this: The menu is in English, so all employees should be able to read the darn menu.

Most of Europe does speak either a derivative of Latin or the Goth or Gaellic tongues that were spoken there historically.

how old was she?

well now, y'all c'mon up to queebek and see who'll speak anglais with you.

lol. You'll like the subways there too because no one speaks english there either! lol

fwiw, multilingual people have bigger brains and are generally of a higher IQ where as uni lingual folks don't show that same gusto of brainy.

go figure that the more you're exposed to and the more you are involved in, the less you will have to worry about not understanding.

I'd say early to mid 20s, but I'm bad with ages. Plus she was shorter, so it was hard to see her face from where I was standing in front of the prep area and with the glass in front of me. The bilingual girl was that age for sure. Since she rang us up at the register we got a good look at her.

[David Jamieson]

To be fair, they don't speak english in popular music anymore either...

[Lucas]

was she hot?

The girl wasn't multilingual. She only spoke Spanish.

I'm talking about the english dude who lives in the south of the usa but doesn't speak spanish.
