se habla English?

Now just so everyone knows,  I’m very much in favor of allowing imigrants from different countries into the U.S.  I think we’re a very blessed country and we should share our blessings with others. 

However I have 2 requirments.

1: no laws are broken in your passage from there to here.

2: You need to learn English. 

2.5 if you’re currently learning english don’t work in a place where I would have to trust you with my financial transactions.

I recently (about 5 min ago) had an experience that was frustrating and annoying.  I went to pay my school fees and found an asian woman behind the counter.

“hi I’d like to pay my school fees.”

“you pay your what?”

(mind you this is her only job is to take school fees)

“I need to pay for my classes!”

“oh ok.  what student number?”

“I have my ssn.”

“ok,  you tell me ssn”

(I did)

“ok you pay all?”

“no I’m set up for the payment plan.”

“ok you pay half now.”

“no I should only have to pay 1/4 of my payment.”

“yes yes, you pay half now.”

“no I’m already set up, it should only be this much.”

“yes yes, you pay half now.”

“is there someone else I could talk to?”

“I talk you.  you pay half now?”

“um, no, um,  what days do you work here?”

“I work wed, thru, firday.”

“so you don’t work here tuesday?”

“no, no, you pay half now?”

“no thank you.  I’ll be back tuesday.”
