Found this info today...

"I recently heard from a waitress in New Brunswick who was not allowed to serve table unless the customers specifically asked for an English-speaking waitress (the assumption is that all waitresses are bilingual).  She wrote to me, asking me what I can do to help.  My answer - "not much, I'm afraid!!"

In what part of NB should English have to be a special request? Once again ...the minority (French) win ... simply because they make more noise about their "rights."

Caution: does not play well with stupid people.

I honestl hope this potential methane isn't true. Give me the name. I mean, I don't want another name as I already have a name of my own but tell me the name of the establishment if you can.

French isn't a minority in Traqcadie-Sheila. Go there, you'll see.

I'm not agreeing with this post that it should be requested but if you go to that town I can garantee that you will need to request a english speaking person to serve you.

For a so called "Penecostal" you sure know how to put your foot in your mouth ! Talking bad about people's race,or native tongue, ain't gonna get you up there in the sky

 

 

Not that I give a rat's "A" about it of course...but still...

 

 

Updated---->People step on my evil toe when they dis my family ! Although my native tongue is neither French,nor English, I still can be uptight about issues like this !

I was refering to this comment {I recently heard from a waitress in New Brunswick who was not allowed to serve table unless the customers specifically asked for an English-speaking waitress }

I don't think it's OK for her to only serve tables when requested a english speaking waitress

  well we do not know the situation or where it is etc.



but what would happen if she does not speak a word French and lives in a French community  where people speaks very little English  ....

Do you really think she would be living there being a waitress is that would be the case? (there are other jobs and other places)

---

Just waiting till it's all over.

well  you never kow  

also why is she staying there   (with the business)   if it was the case 
we only have one side of the story

Exactly. I just don't like the way they blamed french people

"the minority (French) win ... simply because they make more noise about their "rights." " comment really wasn't necessary.

Obviously the chick ain't working in a minority french place. French has to be the majority where she is working.
