So I came to the bank here to deposit some money.
So I came to the bank here to deposit some money. As I'm standing in line waiting for the teller I notice all the marketing signs inside the branch are in Spanish. All the directional signs are in English or at least bilingual, but the marketing signs are only in Spanish.
While talking to the teller I mention this. She tells me they can't have sign in every language and I agree, but English should at least be represented, right?
Oh, there's some signs in English by the front door, she tells me. So I ran something by her: let's say I came in and stood in line while waiting for a teller. Let's say I'm looking around. What do I see? Signs in Spanish -- no English represented.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not one of these this is 'Merca and we speak the English here people I was just curious why English wasn't represented more prominently. I've lived in too many countries and travelled too much to not accept bi- or tri-lingual signs, but sans the language of the land as prominantly as this place is doing? I mean, this isn't Little China, Mexico, Italy or anything. This is smack dab in the middle of the Denver Metro area.
Anywho, just my little musing.
