Only the last option is reasonable. I live in THE illegal immigrant capital of California, every kitchen, and I kid you not, is filled with guys who know little more than "hello" and "thank you" in English. And it would take years to get up to speed with Spanish first language speakers. Hold on, let me put my life on hold for 4-6 years while I learn Spanish so I can cook at Dennys/Marie Calendar's/IHOP/Outback Steakhouse.

I used to work in a kitchen and there were 3 illegal Mexicans. At first they never spoke to me. I then asked one of them for a cigarette and he said "sure, take" and handed me his pack with the lighter in it. They understand English to some degree since we have many interchangeable words that just have Os and As on the end of them in Spanish. You also have to realize they get a lot of American marketing thrown at them being in the states so they will pick it up fast. They do speak some English, but they prefer not to use it as they are scared of butchering it.

Those guys would work like crazy. Really perpetuated the lazy American, hard working Mexican stereotype in that kitchen. People would call in and take off days knowing one of the Mexicans would take their shift. Manager didn't mind them working overtime since they weren't on the payroll. They would rack up 60 or 70 hours a week due to "lazy american" syndrome with no overtime bonus.

Any time I see an illegal working in the service industry I know that they get the job done.

I remember a Golden Corral near my place before the illegals began working there. They never had an A rating. Bathrooms always dirty, food was never consistent in flavor, they overcooked the meats, veggies, pastas, salad bar was a mess. Bunch of lazy shit working. New management comes in and hires illegals to work in the kitchen. Place has a solid 100 rating, buffet is never short of anything, everything cooked properly. Turned the place around. Though this is just anecdotal and I'm not sure how it may be in other restaurants. Go to NYC and all the high end/rave review restaurants have a 90% illegal mexican kitchen staff.

We do not have a single pizza shop that isn't a shitinyourmouth chain. If you've ever heard of Me N Eds, which has gone down in quality, we have that. Pacifica Pizza is another, but they're starting to suck...

Everything else you listed is a chain. Only sandwich shops are Port of Subs/Quiznos/Subway.

Burger joints are the usuals, In N Out/McDonalds/Wendys/Burger King/Carls Jr/Jackin' The Box

We have two local bbq shops that are family owned. We had a third, it closed down because no one spends money in this town, unless it's the taxpayer's dime with EBT.

Seafood, oh, you mean Red Lobster?

Steakhouses: Ruth's Chris(everyone seems to have a funny Spanish accent that works there...hmm), Flemings(fuck yes CHAINS), Outback Shithouse, Tahoe Joes(local chain I think), Sizzlers.

I used to work in East L.A. in the warehouses that distribute produce, and ALL the workers were either Spanish speakers and English speakers. The only English speakers were usually the white bosses that would rarely show up, usually only to yell and be a pain in the ass, and the niggers that would steal trash (dirty vegetables or palettes) to sell on the streets. It was amazing how we communicated in some sort of Spanish-Chinese-English pidgin and it was one of the most fun environment to work in. Whenever I go into a grocery store or a fast food place I avoid the white kids like the plague because they're lazy, rude, and don't appreciate their jobs. Especially at the grocery store, I love watching the fast-working Mexicans bagging my shit like if they were going to get deported if they didn't. I also enjoy taking my time explaining to the cute Philippina what I want in my sandwich at the Subway.

I agree, I've worked with Mexicans at several jobs. Those guys will work any shift and will work their asses off. I actually now have a ton of respect for them now, I used to not like them. Some of them can be assholes if you are white, know no spanish and don't work hard. If you work hard and respect them as equal to you they can be great people.

For awhile I worked third shift unloading pallets of groceries and stocking coolers at a grocery store, I was the only white there. The guys were very suspicious and apprehensive of me at first, they acted like they didn't speak English and didn't really want me to help with anything. But after I busted my ass working alongside them and brought em breakfast a few times as a friendly gesture I guess decided I was "OK" and started talking to me. They all spoke English pretty well, they had me fooled. They'd still talk to one another in spanish but they started switching to English alot of the time to include me in the conversation. Great bunch of guys really, all older Mexicans. I ended up making friends with em and would go get beers after work with the group, even went fishing with them a few times. Turns out most of em were related and the ones that weren't were from the same town in Mexico, they all came here together 20 years ago and are just decent humans trying to make a better life for them and their kids. I don't work there anymore but still drop in from time to time to have lunch and catch up. I guess my point is that you shouldn't be afraid of them, they're just workers who usually speak a different language. Respect, work hard, and treat em as equals and they might surprise you.

Managers will always hire illegals because they never fucking complain, always come in early, are expendable, and are paid less in cash under the table; Not really a big amount taken, the manager will usually keep the part that would have gone to taxes. Illegals are starting to wake up and not accept ultra low wages and would rather move to another state in this economy. Greedy managers are suffering.

I worked in the printing industry in Texas. I was trained in precision printing by gatorade and miller lite. When I showed up at the company printing all the TV guides for the Dallas and Fort Worth newspapers, I was a walk-on press operator. Not a single person spoke English - or so they claimed. But when things started to go wrong and I jumped down their fucking throats, they suddenly understood and made everything right.

What I'm trying to say is don't tolerate substandard performance. They could be speaking alien but if they want to keep a job and keep getting paid, they will learn -right-the-fuck-now what words mean in a different language.

Its reversible though. It's almost impossible for an immigrant to get a job working customer service and retail for the same reasons, they don't speak the language that well. Thats why they are all back in the kitchen. Your frustration at having a hard time finding a job in a kitchen is the same frustration felt by a Chinese dude who really just wants to work at a shoe store. Its almost impossible for him to work that job because of language barriers so he ends up working in a kitchen or a warehouse where he'll have no contact with the general public.

And if you expect everyone here to always speak Jesus's chosen white English language then you are a toothless hick. Either grow a pair and adapt to the people who generally work the job you want or find something else to do. If you have a problem with workers speaking in the language they are comfortable with the feel free to never eat out at a restaurant again. Or drive on a road again, immigrants built that. Go ahead and burn your house down, that too was constructed by a bunch of black-tongue speaking orcs.

I agree. But when you are living in an un-air-conditioned shack and drinking brown water and working in the fields 12+ hours a day learning English in your free time isn't exactly top priority. Top priority is getting the fuck out of there so your children don't have to live the same pitiful existence. And once they get here life will be better for the children but the parents are still working 12+ hours a day, only instead of a field it is probably in a kitchen or doing construction. When you work that much and have a family to raise, you really expect them to learn the language overnight?

I get upset when people here don't speak English too but you've gotta look at the world through non-American eyes. The people are working hard and doing the best they can to provide for their kids, its not like they are working 8 hours a day in an office where they don't really do much and can sit around all relaxed and learn a totally foreign language. Shit, they have more important things to do. They gotta work and work hard.

Its aggrivating when people can't speak the countries language but this is why I get upset when people hate. Its easy for us to sit around and learn a new language because we have it easy and have lots of free time. If you can't be bothered to learn at least the basics of Spanish then who are you to bitch about them not speaking perfect English the minute they step foot in the US? Fuck.

English isn't the official language of the USA. Look at all the immigrants who came to America before world war 2. They were peaking German, Polish, Italian, French, Eastern European languages, etc. That generation didn't speak English and you can still find some of them scattered across America. They had to create their own little communities to function in America. The smart ones learned English to take advantage as being the middle man between communities. It was their children who grew up being bilingual.

With the current illegal "invasion" the coming generation of their anchor babies will be speaking English and unlikely to work service jobs with their college education.

Give them a shot just like we did with the nips, chinks, gooks, wops, polaks, krauts, frogs, and jews you racist beta faggots.

I don't give a fuck what language they are speaking here. If they can hand me my change, take my order, cook my food, clean my shit, build my homes, pick the fruit, slave for nothing to get by and support a family it doesn't affect me because I will always be in a better position.

Thank god someone else here is sane and understands. First generation of any ethnic group will probably not speak English and will work long hours doing shit labor. Second generation will be bilingual, they'll go to public schools and the more intelligent will get higher education. Its still hard for them because of poverty and still being outcasts. Many of the gang bangers and criminals are second generation, this is due to poverty, living in a bad environment and still being outcasts. Third generation and up will begin integrating so that they are more American than foreign, English will be first language and they'll accomplish more. The longer they are here the more they'll integrate, they'll also be bringing along their family culture and whatnot.

Same as the Germans, nips, chinks, wops, polaks and everything else you mentioned. Given enough time they'll just be Americans.

The only exception seems to be black people, and that's because they've developed a culture of wanting to be different from white people (understandable given our history prior to 1980)....which apparently means trying your hardest not to escape the slums or succeed.

Not so much of them developing a culture as what I would like to think is the media exploiting their culture into some sort of rebellious phenomenon. They remind me of a black James Dean. Eventually we'll move on to a new subculture being exploited and with current trends it's a more electronica-music, drug taking culture rising up. For christ's sake weed is now legal in some states. How will it make all those "hard nigga thugs" with blunts in their mouths look. They're just law abiding citizens enjoying a good smoke.

>> No.4073896

it may be different where you guys live, but i live in fresno, california, and white people are literally the minority now.

at my current job as a cook, the kitchen has a full time staff of 6. 4/6 are mexican. The other white guy is an aspie and just sticks to himself int he corner and washes dishes while talking to himself. the mexican guys are cool and all know english fluently and teach me things here and there about how to say different things.

the thing with fresno though is there are so many non bilingual immigrants that 80% of food service jobs (outside of fast food chains which are manned by the white teenagers or middle aged black people) are hispanics who will work for less. the 20% are the white or super whitewashed bilingual people that are in management positions and have went to school.

my situation is this: stay where i am making 11 bucks an hour forever and hate it, find another job as a cook making less money and liking it, or taking out 30k worth of loans and wasting 2 years in culinary school to earn 12 bucks and slowly work my way up to managment.

i'm rambling.
tl:dr fucking businesses take advantage of the immigrant population, fucking society puts an emphasis on college degrees, and i'm stuck in the middle of the two

Just learn Spanish. It's an easy-ass language for an anglo. Hell, do something even better and throw away that useless asswipe degree and start a business of your own.

ha random. fuckin small world. fresno isnt horrible, but yeah full of chains and beaners.

i actually live off maple and herndon.

me n eds HAS gone downhill! i'm glad someone else notices it too. tahoe joes isnt horrible, pismos grill is pretty good but pricey, full o bull is awesome, qn4u sucks anyways im glad it closed down.

check out the black guy who barbaeques off clovis avenue at the cheveron way out past the airport. best bbq in town.

anyways i'm rambling from excitmenet of meeting another fresnan online. it IS super hard to get a food service job here. but sweet tomatoes sucks anyways. if you have anyexperience at all table mountain pays well and makes some decetnt stuff. check out belmont country club, copper river country club, some of the retirement (not convalescent) places have food service fairwinds at woodward park is one of them. theyre never hiring since their so small but cracked pepper, campagnia, lela's and trelio are always good to bug.

I live in a town that's going through an immigration explosion of Koreans and Mexicans.

I feel daily guilt that I've not kept up with my Spanish as I should, though I stumble through it when speaking to the two Mexican women that work with me at my job at a sushi/hibachi restaurant.

Honestly, the way I've gotten close to Koreans is through the food itself. My fellow coworkers are so ungrateful when the chefs cook food for the entire staff to eat before we open. Some of it is so good that we should put it on the menu as a featured entree, in my opinion. All the cooks want is a simple "thank you," or an acknowledgement of an ingredient in a dish.

I also love pickled and fermented things, which relates to Korean dishes. And fish. I get free sushi just because I appreciate the fish so much. Thank God I grew up on the coast.

If you live in the US, try to speak with your coworkers. They are probably stumbling through the English language as well. Stop being an annoying prick and admit your ignorant to the language--I sure as hell am.

Though I'll admit, Korean is a fuckton harder to learn than Spanish. Even one damn word...
