Dear Everyone;

Here's a story you may have already heard about the Philly Cheesesteak shop with a Speak English sign at the order window.

Does the owner of have the right to say what language a customer should use to order? BTW he has had that sign there for 6 months.

The The city’s Commission on Human Relations alleges that the policy at Geno’s Steaks discourages customers of certain backgrounds from eating there, said Rachel Lawton, acting executive director.

So is there anything to debate or is the owner correct or is the City Commission correct or who cares?
