'English Only' Sign Triples Diner's Business
Loading...
Uploaded by FoxNewsInsider on May 23, 2011
A restaurant owner in North Carolina, frustrated after dealing with customers who were unable to communicate in English, put up an "English only" sign that led to positive consequences to his bottom line. Martha spoke to Greg Simons, owner of the Reedy Creek Diner, about the increase in business and media attention.

@darrenritt27 No duh!! for centuries it had been understood and millions of immigrants had RESPECT and the need in order to succeed, taught themselves the language. BUT now we have a devolved culture that requires us to demand that you speak English. And of course do you have a POINT? Speak English.. use American currency , do shit in public place, wipe your ass, take a bath.. is this where we are headed???

The point is that if you come to the United States you should learn English because not everyone in this country is Bilingual. I have worked in a few different pawn shops over the years and have had the exact same problem Greg has. I personally know this man and he is far from racist believe me.

@carlindelco First of all America doesnt have an official language. Secondly there are plenty of dumb hicks in this country who are harder to understand than foreigners. You know, the ignorant hillbillys who lecture foreigners on the finer points of english when they cant spell and make up their own words. Ive met plenty of foreigners who speak english as a second language who are easy to understand accent and all. Ive also met plenty of hicks who only speak English that i cant understand.

@darrenritt27 Well let me explain.. Mexico is part of the ..........America's , did you know that we live in NORTH America and that there is a SOUTH America.. but strangely enough they don't speak English.. fancy that... so the sign was to exemplify American - English.. A trivial complaint.. But I guess you deserve some credit for trying to find something to complain about right.. u guys are so persnickety ..What kind of world would it be with whiners like u in charge?

@carlindelco They are teaching ENGLISH. The differences are mainly trivial from other English speaking countries. My point is this guy wouldnt refuse someone from England, Iredland, Australia etc who speaks english becuase it isnt "American English". This guy cant even pronounce Ethnicity correctly.
