Went to Home Depot (Springfield) today. At entrance saw pictures of 14 employees each of whom spoke a different language. No picture of anyone who spoke English. Went home.

Sir, you are in the wrong country if you are looking for English speaking people at any retail business.

Friend of mine a while back got irritated as shit going to one of these home improvement stores. She was looking for either a bird feeder or a birdbath. Fuckin' foreign employees directed her uselessly all over the store. They had no idea that feeding and watering birds is something we do and my friend left the place empty-handed. Employees just couldn't comprehend what she was shopping for.

The cure for this so to go to a place like Brown's Hardware in Falls Church. The owner, in his nineties, still works there. The employees are all English-speaking Americans. They've all been incredibly helpful when I've gone there in search of solutions to problems with small electric devices, etc., gave me some great tips for planting flower bulbs I bought from them, and have given me the names and phone numbers of handymen when I've come in with a problem that didn't have a quick fix. Fantastic staff. Take your business there.

Didn't you hear Presidente Fuckohead last night you guys? The Demofucks don't want English in this country. Ugh....
The worst place for the irritation with non English that I encountered over the years was the fucking McDonalds at Picket Road Shopping Center. It was fucking impossible to order there at the drive through and when you did finally manage to place an order it was inevitably wrong.

Any major metro area is gonna have a bunch of foreigners working at home depot, Mac d's,or the like. They don't pay enough for good English speaking people, and after they learn better English, they go get a better job. And if they paid enough for English speaking, then you'd be complaining about the price of a 2x4. Its what you gotta deal with in a metro area. It annoys me too, but nobody else is gonna work there. I'm sure the managers would rather have employees that they can communicate better with too.

I have a booster card from a local school with a 10% discount at Dairy Queen where I bring my kids. I dont even bother using it because I know if I present it the staff will not be able to comprehend what it is and what the procedure for a coupon discount is. Yesterday my daughter wanted to know what type of oil they used to fry food with. 'Jess, its oil'

Its all good if someone is new here but I know people that have been here 20 years that still barely speak a word so I have to use my 2 yrs. college Spanish from 30 years ago to communicate. Jeez

Even the English speaking employees are idiots. One of them tried to help me in the electrical aisle. I told him I was looking for ring terminals. He told me he didn't know what that was. I told him I don't know any other words for it. He told me he was an electrician. I now shop the Interwebs for anything or just order at Grainger and pick up.

The number of racists, bigots, connivers, knaves, poltroons and their ilk spouting their ignorant drivel on this site is staggering. If it weren't for them walking upright and the shirt on their back, one would mistake them for a four-legged beast which is an accurate representation and testimony to the worst the human race has ever produced.

I don't think there's that many of those kind on this site. In fact, I think we barely have any black people posting here at all.

Didn't Fairfax Underground promise to translate their posts into English for the benefit of those legally residing in Fairfax?

About a year ago I went into the McDonald's on Backlick Rd right near Industrial Dr and had to point to the items on the menu because the women running the register didn't speak/understand English. Pissed me off.

Sounds like you wasted your gas and time. And you still have to find whatever you showed up to buy. Suck it, loser.
