Foreign people working in our shops.
It annoys me.
I went to McDonalds and tried to order a plain chocolate McFlurry, it took me a good 10 minutes trying to explain to the woman what i meant, then she goes:
"Ahh Dairy Milk, Ya!"
gonk
Same goes for KFC.
I fear going into these fast food places now, thinking i may not be understood.
In my own town.

I remember once i had got really stoned with some friends, and came back to my house to watch Takeshi's Castle. Then, i decided to order pizza. So the guy came to the door, and i laughed my a** off at his nametag.

Maybe you had to explain to him because Plain chocolate and dairy milk aren't the same ******** thing. He probably though you were a loony. Don't judge people.

Well I'm obviously foreign myself so foreigners do not bother at all, but it does annoy me when they hire someone who can't speak understandable English to do counter services... it just doesn't make a lot of sense to me...... If they can't speak English properly give them another job that doesn't require direct customer contact...duh...

Well, thinking about it from a foreign persons perpective, they've come to work in this country for whatever reason, they have a very basic grasp of the english language and know nothing about Englands culture or how the people react. Trying to earn money in a foreign country must be horrible.

But then again, McDonalds gives basic pay and will take on ANYONE.
I'd hate to work there.

Trying to earn money in a foreign country must be horrible. It is...especially when girls come over here to be whores and tell their family back home they have a 'respectable job' as a waitress... But they shouldn't be on the counter if they can't speak English.

Why should anyone have to work in a place they don't want to be in? If they're here legally they have all rights to get jobs where the employer will let them, if they can speak english, al be it poor english, they have the same right as you or any other person. If it had been an english person that was so s**t thick they could barely speak english, then I'd expect it to be a problem.
How many other languages can you speak well enough to move to that country and work there? They can only improve by using their skills and learning more.

Just let them build their way up the ladder.

30 minutes of crazy people doing crazy things only to reach the climax where they all lose. Good times.
