Fast Food Industry Hiring Practices

I dropped by one of my local fast food establishments today and I noticed something. All of the workers in the establishment were hispanic. I will say this about the hispanic culture. They WORK. Every single person in that restaurant was working like crazy. Noone was casually working either. I mean these people had a MISSION. The sign on the restaurant says 43 million served but these people were working like they were trying to serve 43 million....TODAY. Across the world they probably do.

I have only two request.

Request #1- Any person who is in a position where they are going to be interaction WITH people please speak the English language effectively. Today, I give the girl credit for trying but normally when you step up to place an order you get ...."May I take your order". Today in very broken English which I did not catch the first time and asked the girl to repeat was "What...you ...want?" What the heck is that? What I want? What do I say? Me want food? Me want hamburger?

Request #2 Learn how to make change so that in the event that the cash register goes funky on you you know what to do.
My bill $4.97. I gave the girl 5 dollars and 2 cents. I did this so I could get rid of the pennies in my pocket and I would get back one nickel instead of 3 pennies. The girl just looked at me like I was stupid for paying OVER my bill when I explained to her my reasoning. SHE HAD TO GET THE APPROVAL OF THE MANAGER. He of course told her sure and we moved on but I sure shut down that cash resgister for an extra 5 minutes.

My son is learning how to make change in the first grade for crying out loud!!!!!

I am just going to throw this out there but if I were a manager of fast food place I would put the English speakers on the registers and the non-english speakers on the assembly line making the food.
