I just went to subway for lunch and it took 10mins to get a sub, normally 3 mins.... but the woman that served me didnt speak english, and if she did it was very little.... Whats going on? i have places to be, other than arguing about having no tomatoes!

thats so wrong fair enough we need equall oppotunity for different races of people to obtain jobs but where do we draw the line????? A non english speaking person should not be able to get a job where communtication is a vital role in the the job....

Well the guy at the sandwich place i go to only speaks Spannish, so i think it's fun to order really obscure sandwiches to see if he gets it right, it's like a challenge, if i communicate well enough i get a good sandwich, if i don't my punishment is to eat mayonase. Make life fun. Be laid back.

This pisses me off too. Last time I flew out of the Sydney Domestic Airport(October, 04), I tried to order Mc. Donalds but every single employee was Chinese and not one could speak english.

Every single person was getting annoyed yet over tolerant of this.

f*** This!!! I thought. When they could not undertand, I'll take one kids meal and one Big Mac Meal, I pointed to the pictures...I want one of those(holding up 1 finger). They continued to get dumber and dumber until I told them that if they don't do my order right and now, I'd drag their yellow butts outside and shove them into a Jet engine.

Amazing how they suddenly understood every word I said after that.

You should try asking for a meat pie in shop in Cabramatta, South Western Suburbs of Sydney. They don't understand meat pie unless it's in Vietnamese.

This should be the rule: Move to a country, learn their f***ing language or get out!

Do they want us to? No. Do they want us to know what they spirituality is fully? No.

Sounds like you've been to Sydney.


I like Queensland's Laws for getting a Taxi Licence. Before you can even begin the course, you must pass a basic english language test. When I was looking at getting a licence when I lived in Brisbane, they did this by looking at how you filled in the form and how well you spoke.

If you could not understand the language, you could not even sit the course. Hence, you don't see many asian taxi drivers in Queensland.

Double standards there Cobber.

Your ancestors invaded a country and did exactly what the many foreign workers you are now complaining about did.
