Don't know if anyone saw this yet but Joey RULES!

He put up a sign telling people to order in English and a second sign that says management reserves the right to refuse service.

Who cares about all the language stuff and such that has been bouncing around lately. Joey V. rules for the simple fact that he is standing up for what he believes in! The city council even asked him to take the sign down and he refused.

It's a shame that the news is trying to paint him as a hypocrite by pointing out that his family were immigrants who couldn't speak English at one time. But the real point there is that they LEARNED to speak English. They didn't make excuses about being disadvantaged, they didn't whine about it being unfair and they didn't call a country of 200 million people a worthless bunch of pig-dogs because they didn't know a 2nd language. They manned-up and did wha they had to do to survive. That survival and work ethic is what made this country great to begin with!

Good on you Joey V.! Fuck Pat's Steaks! You want a cheesesteak in Philly, you go see Joey V down at Geno's, he'll set you up! Just remember, you want one one "whiz wit"!

my grandpa told me that when growing up his father would only allow english too be spoken in the home. he said "we are americians now and will speak english"

I have a lot of customers who come in not speaking english if they come in with their old part we can help them but since nobody here speaks spanish well no part
