Is Geno's required to employ folks fluent in every language in the event a guy who speaks the African clicky stuff wanders by and wants to try one of these babies?

PHILADELPHIA (Reuters) - A civil rights watchdog agency opened an investigation on Monday into a Philadelphia cheese steak restaurant that posted a sign saying "This is America - when ordering, speak English."
The Philadelphia Commission on Human Relations complaint effectively opens a case against Geno's Steaks of South Philadelphia, said Rachel Lawton, acting executive director of the agency.
The Philadelphia controversy has fed a national debate over immigration in which the U.S. Senate passed a bill that would declare English the national language and politicians have raised objections to a Spanish version of the national anthem.

I hear he did ask for Gruyére first.
He went to Pat's King of Steaks. This is across the street from Gino's.
Then when he tried to eat the sammich - like a priss - cameras started snapping and he got all po'd
Photo op gone bad.
BTW - both Pat's and Gino's are bound to raise your cholesterol 100 points (heavan!!)
More like "cheesebargah" "cheesebargah"
No, that was Pat's across the street.

Cheesesteaks. I'm sorry. But the world could do without those monstrosities.
unless the gubmint says otherwise..which they're trying to do..
Pretty soon they will probably require all business's to have a staff worker and manager who speaks the top 5 languages in the nation before they can even open for business.
'..watch the lefties pull his business license..'
knew this would happen. Libs think free speech applies only to them. Hope his restaurant meets all city/state codes and cleanliness standards..cause they'll try to get him however they can. And, I'd keep a VERY CLOSE watch on any lib inspectors that come into restaurant....wouldn't put it past them to 'bring in' dirt.
God bless this patriotic man.

Meatball Meatball. They are Italian.
oops, sorry for double post.....got to learn patience.
I would love to know just who is was that filed the compliant. These agencies don't act on anything until a compliant is filed.
"Cheesesteaks. I'm sorry. But the world could do without those monstrosities."
WRONG! What the world needs is a Geno's Steaks branch in Los Angeles.

"'..watch the lefties pull his business license..' "
There would be riots.
I was thinking more of a role reversal with the quote coming from some of the customers. How hard would it be to learn three or four English words to be able to order?
Ben Franklin is truly rolling over in his grave.
If that's all Geno's staff speaks, customers won't get much ordering in something other than English...
