ripcordI've stopped responding to people who can't use real sentencesI was watching a traffic stop that turned into an arrest and some guy asks me "Why they do that?' and that was ignored so he tries again "Dude I asks you what for them cops doing that?" I just refuse to deal with people who are too lazy to form a correct sentence.
Pretty racist of that DUmmie.
Let's not forget Democrats are now claiming that English and Math are racist because they are difficult subjects for black people in school.
MineralMan57. I ran into a situation once with someone who behaved like you.I was standing in the teller line in my bank. The couple in front of me were trying to cash some American Express traveler's checks. They spoke very poor English, with a French accent. Quite obviously they were tourists. The teller refused to even try to communicate with them, and was quite rude in insisting that they speak English. They were trying to do that, but the teller didn't even try to understand. So, I dug my mind back into my high school French and asked if I could help. They showed me their US$ American Express traveler's checks and told me they wanted to exchange them for some US Dollars. I understood what they said just fine. So, I spoke to the teller and told her what the couple wanted to do. She said, "Why don't they ask me in English?" I said, "Because they are French tourists and don't speak English very well. It's obvious what they want, though." I explained to the teller that they wanted some cash they could spend. The teller said, "OK." and then told them, in English, to sign and countersign the checks. I explained what was needed to the couple in French. They signed and countersigned, as one does with American Express traveler's checks. The teller gave them their money. They thanked me for my help and left. I was the teller's next customer. I explained to her that she should have been perfectly able to understand what a couple of tourists wanted when they presented their traveler's checks at a bank. I told her she could have just pointed at the places that needed signatures and made signing motions with her hand and they would have signed those checks just fine. She grumped at me, tersely saying that I should mind my own business. I motioned to the bank manager, a man I knew from my 15 years doing business in that bank. He came over. I explained what had happened and suggested that some further training be done to assist his tellers in figuring out why someone would present traveler's checks at the teller's window. He thanked me and said, "I'll take care of this right way." I completed my transaction and left. Rudeness about language is ridiculous. It's one of the reasons Americans have a poor reputation outside of this country. The only thing that is important is communication. Being rude to someone for not using proper English is just flat rudeness. Instead, every attempt should be made to communicate and help the other person. To do otherwise reflects poorly on you.
So, the best way to get something done, if you... if you hold near and dear to you that you uh... um, like to be able t-... ... ... anyway...

Oh now, a bonus!MM gets to explain to everyone how this should work, with a couple of lies thrown in for respectability. KC
So, Rockhead reported the teller to the manager. Doesn't that make him a "Karen?"

I have a hard time believing anyone who is carrying travelers checks didn't the know the countersign drill already.
Do people still use travelers checks? It has been decades since I've carried any of those financial instruments.
I speak Jive.
I don't think so. i think they have gone the way of rotary phones and VHS rental stores.
