Victoria, Texas is a town about 80 miles west of Houston.
Local Hispanic leaders there, in opposition to pending immigration legislation, boycotted all Caucasian owned businesses in the Victoria area this past weekend as a demonstration of their economic impact on the community.
The boycott was declared a success by the Hispanic community, noting that revenue in Caucasian owned businesses was down by 19%.
Business owners declared the boycott a success as well, pointing out that shoplifting was reduced by 77%, money orders sent out of the country were down by 97%, and the cost of daily clean-up and trash collection was down by 84%. Shoppers reported that they could actually hear English being spoken throughout the community for the first time in recent memory, and customers actually paid for purchases with real money, not government debit cards!

OMG...I went to McDonalds the other night (seriously last resort...Mr Flame's flight was majorly delayed, and the kids and I were sitting and waiting forever, and he hadn't eaten anything all day...was like 10:30 at night), driving home from Dulles. Went inside so everyone could use the bathroom. Took THREE people to come up to the fron to understand what the hell I wanted to order, 'cause no one spoke English! Even the one who finally understood was hispanic, with a major accent, but at least he understood what "Double cheeseburger, no pickles" meant!
I was so friggin disgusted!!!

I had the same experience at the drive-through a few weeks ago. I was so mad I wanted to punch her in the face. This damn girl garbled and slurred every word and screwed up my order. I almost drove off and said 'screw it', and that's not normally something I do.

I have walked into MacDonald's and have said "I would like to speak English: Is that OK?" If they don't, I stand there and yell "I need someone who speaks English here!"
The manager usually comes and takes my order, since the others can't.
