Good public relations? For whom? This is the USA and the currency is dollars and if they cannot pay with dollars…they don’t need the pizza. How far does this country have to bend to the whims and wishes of people from other cultures? I say…those who pay with dollars should boycott this unAmerican establishment.

:heart:Blyss
What makes it “un-American” to accommodate their customers? I am certainly always accommodated in Mexico when I spend American dollars. Next some people will say it’s un-American to eat Mexican food or to vacation in Mexico.

It wasn’t a decision by “this country” but by an individual business. Business have the freedom to accommodate clients as they seem fit, just like border towns in Mexico accommodate tourist by accepting American dollars. There is no diference.

This is a sovereign country and the currency here is the ***dollar…***not the peso. heck with accomodating the customer. Many establishments barely do that anyway. Accommodate them by taking “pesos”? Why should any business accommodate a 'customer" by taking cureency of another country? It is anti-American…it may not be illegal to do so…but it should be.

I guess you can’t think outside of the box…no of course it wasn’t the decision of this country:rolleyes: …it was the decision of a particular business…but it is part and parcel of what is going on in this country now…we have to accomamodate the illegals…the Hispanics…the Asians…we have to have interpreters…we have to have pamphlets printed in a dozen languages…where does it end?

There is no difference?:eek: LOL…how many Americans are beating a path through the border to live in Mexico and trying to make the culture American?

Yes, businesses have the right to accommodate “clients(?)” as they see fit and Americans have the right to boycott them…which is just what I would do if they were here in my city.

It is a sovereign country that respects*** independent*** businesses, as opposed to a communist state that runs all businesses.
Oh puhleeze…get real…apples and oranges…this country is fast losing its sovereignty…this is a prime example…taking the currency of a foreign country…people flying the flag of a foreign nation…not learning the language…it is only a matter of time. We are already a bi-lingual country…

So why do you want to further the decline of freedom by limiting the freedom of a business owner to make up his own mind because a peso is offensive to you? Then don’t buy their pizza. That is as far as you freedom to act should go. Let them do as they see best.

not the peso.

How does accepting pesos change our currency, much less our sovereignity? You are not being forced to use pesos and it still takes a lot of pesos to make a buck. How could we do business with the rest of the world if we only accepted dollars?

What I find offensive is that a business owner would accept foreign currency in exchange for goods. This is the USA and by accepting foreign currency it is further eroding our soveriegnty as a nation. Why is it so offensive to you that we should expect AMERICAN businesses to accept dollars only? Where is it going to end…are we soon going to be not only a bi-lingual country…we will also be bi-currency?😉 LOL When a country starts down the path of catering to foreign ideals then we… have lost our culture…and that is happening. Why should a company be allowed to do this? They shouldn’t. They can surely go to Mexico and set up their business if they are so gung-ho on appealing to that segment of their clientele. Good riddance…

:heart:Blyss
 
Oh duh??? :eek: I don’t know…only because this is the*** United States of America ***and the currency is dollars!! If they cannot pay with dollars…they need to return to Mexico and pay for their pizzas with pesos…there!!😦

:heart:Blyss
Who said they are from Mexico? I have some Canadian money does that make me Canadian?

What made it unAmerican, all major American companies do business in many countries, are they unAmerican too?

So American could look at being poor at business and thus becoming a poor country as an alternative? really? Maybe we should hire good workers from the poor country to help our business?

I do not have any interpreters, and do not publish much other than English am I violating some law?

What is really interesting is the culture comment btw yes million of American go to Mexican each year, it is a popular vacation destination, and that influence their culture. But did you understand this was pizza, an Italian dish! So do you boycott the Italian restaurants in your town?

You want a real kick in the head?
Several years ago when the tourism industry was really hurting here in upstate NY resort owners advertised “Canadian Money Accepted At Par”. This when the CAN$ was at about US$0.70-0.75.

Should we have hanged these guys for treason or just recognised that they were businessfolk desperate to fill empty beds?

Well…if you read the article or heard about this…it was PESOS that they were accepting. PESOS are the currency of…Mexico? LOL…It also said they were appealing to the HISPANIC customers…read and enlighten yourself.

You said it…they do business IN MANY countries…that is far different than accepting foreign currency in THIS country. You DO see the difference I hope?!😃

Your first paragraph makes absolutely No sense at all…so it is not easy to comment.

Second…you don’t have interpreters*…so what?* the courts do…hospitals do…because many who are here legally and illegally do not know English. As for breaking the law by not having them, yes, I suppose that might be the case…especially in a court of law if they were being charged with a crime. What that has to do with you personally I have no idea nor do I care.

It doesn’t matter what the restaurant owner was selling…it could have been hot doigs and it doesn’t make any difference. ***It isn’t the item being sold…***it is the method of payment. geesh!
Why would I boycott the Italian restaurants if they are accepting dollars for exchange? LOL

You want me to explain “what” sovereignty I am speaking of? If you don’t know…I don’t think I have enough time to explain it to you. Although, my 8 year old grandson knows what sovereignty is…:rolleyes:

How is the voluntary act of accepting pesos by our own citizens a violation of our sovereignity? Another government has not attacked us. Individuals are simply engaging in a perfectly acceptable business practice.

Because this is part and parcel of what is happening in this country. We are catering to the hispanic population to the detrement of our own country. I hope that the owner of this business starts to feel the effects of American ansgt and that everyone will boycott his business.

What? Don’t we have a large Hispanic population and aren’t the majority …citizens?

Again, how does the voluntary action of American citizens violate our sovereignity?

I do not find anyone’s expectations offensive. It is when one crosses over and thinks they have the right to tell others how to exercise their freedoms here. We have way too much of government meddling in business as it is.

If you do not like it, don’t by pizza there. But since it is not your business, the mind your own business and let each owner mind their own. That is far more of an American idea than anything you put forth.

So basically your plan is to reduce freedom and install a dictator? only the practices the dictator wishes to apply should be used? Is that not the real thing being said? Is the base premise of White Pizza eating Anglo-Saxons have been a native culture here for ever? And a lack of business and economic knowledge is acceptable.

A person of Hispanic decent is not a person of illegal immigration. I know of no large US which will not accept payment in other forms. For years many Russian companies paid the US businesses in Vodka as the currency was too volatile.

Did it ever occur to you to compare the Mexican citizen who wishes to work in the US ( or Native American) to the White Anglo-Saxon who wished to live here between 1500-1800? Who really is treating who badly?

I fail to see the relevance of the happenings of 300-600 years ago to the discussion at hand.
