Apparently you have to speak Spanish to order at a McDonald's in El Paso. I went there on Saturday with "The People" and this is what happened:
Idiot: "Buenos Tardes"
Me: Do you have McRibs?
Idiot: Blank stare
Me: McRib?
Idiot: trying to say McRib.. "Bibs?" then asks the manager and doesn't even say McRib.
"no"
Me: "ok, I want a Chipolte Chicken snack wrap"
Idiot: Blank Stare
Me: repeated the order and pointed at the picture on the board.
Idiot: Blank stare then gets the manager again, who typed it in for her
Me: not wanting a value meal I order " Southern style chicken sandwich"
Idiot: blank stare then again gets the manager and they both look at me as if I am speaking another language, which I was, English.
Me: realizing I am not going to get just the sandwich I decide it would be easier to get the dumb meal "A number 8"
Idiot: Light bulb goes on in her head and it is visible on her face "ok" and immediately hits the button.
Me: "a large diet coke and a large regular coke."
Idiot: searches for the buttons and enters it in.
A few minutes later I get my order with only one coke.
Me: "I ordered a coke AND a diet coke"
Idiot: blank stare........."2 cokes"
Me: "Yes, 2 cokes"
The manager fills it up for me.
Then my sister had the same experience. Don't get me wrong I am not saying that if you speak Spanish you are an idiot. It is just that if you are going to work at a restaurant you should know how to say the entire menu in English. When I worked at Cracker Barrel here in El Paso, I could say or at least understand in Spanish the basics of what the store had to offer.
