this woman speaks mandarin (coming from her name), i know at least 2 people that works there that speak mandarin

You should ask why they or someone else didn't offer to help if they were there. Not that they have the 'responsibility' to do so, but why not right?

I've seen so many times where mainlanders pick fights with service providers in HK, because the providers don't speak mandarin, and the mandarin speakers are unwilling to learn or even work with them. Twice I have seen minibus drivers flat out kick passengers off the bus! (students both times) :lawl:

But if you overhear that there's a problem, why not help?

I remember when I used to work at retail, some china aunties would come up to me asking me some shit in mandarin. I'd tell them I don't speak mandarin and they'd just walk off looking pissed and head held up high. Fuck is that all about?

its not someone elses shit to get into :p

bystander effect...someone else will deal with it :p

Oh shit, NOW you tell me!

i know u might fail me but im in china right now, my buddy told this happen as he works there but he cant tell me the whole story due to policy

McDonald serious business.

anyone there at the time?

will buy you a beverage similar to the one you asked for if you pipe up and tell the story

Why would I fail you? Anyway see if you can get the story and put in on pastebin or something... I'll "find" it and post it here!

Woman asks McDonald?s for apology | Vancouver 24 hrs

At this point, I am not sure who to believe since we don't have McD's side of the story. :okay:

I am honestly floored at the fact that this woman has actually been employed for a decade. I don't mean just in Canada, I mean in general..

probably a Walmart greeter

maybe she got an empty cup to go fill herself and that pissed her off because she didn't order a cup ;)

and when the employee pointed towards the drink dispenser she took that to mean "gtfo"


:lawl: i can actually see that happening

I had no problems ordering food at McDonalds in Germany, France, Belgium and the Netherlands. Never once really speaking the language of the area. Just point, say "combo/menu (means combo in german) and coffee. Or whatever. It's really quite easy.

When I get more pissed is when I go to a shop in Surrey or Richmond and can't communicate with the employee because they don't speak ENGLISH. That's what should be making the news, really...

I'm curious why he brought the Charter of Rights and Freedoms into this. The only section that could potentially pertain to this is section 22, but it was really only intended to refer to Aboriginal languages.

Honestly I think it is a plot to further his own "career" using this incident. It seems the non english speakers are oblivious, it riled up the english speakers more than anything.

Update:


:lawl:

tldr;

Just watched CTV and Frank Zhao is still not pleased because they didn't apologize for the "right" reason..

:facepalm:

This has gone way to far. Fucking idiot needs to go learn this nations fucking language.

Someone on the first page pointed out that driving tests are given in multiple languages.I had no idea they did that, that the biggest BS I have ever heard, you should be able to speak the language of whatever country you want to drive in before you go there and live there permanently.

Lmao.... surprised Joe actually found the time to meet up with these morons

Well given his dedication to McDonalds I guess its no surprise that he would find the time just to give some pretty words to a crazy bat and her son

Yeah, Joe is a busy man.

Fixed.
