Pizza parlor
So conservatives have a problem with this?
Really? I thought conservatives were all for a free market and allowing a business owner to run his/her business as they wish?
Is this a problem?
What if a company that sells beer would give away free beer if you ordered in German? Would that be an issue?
Free Chinese food if you ordered in Chinese?
Free cheese is you order in French?
Is this the kind of crap that makes politicians look like fools?
I'm just lost as to why this pizza place is getting flack over this.
On the flip side - it's fantastic advertising and marketing.
Thoughts?
A pizza parlor is being criticized for asking customers to order a pie in another language.
Dallas-based Pizza Patrón, with 104 outlets across the country, plans to give away 80,000 large pepperoni pizzas on June 5 to anyone who orders in Spanish, according to a report in USA Today.
Some have slammed the deal, as immigration remains a hot button issue in the country.
"It seems to punish people who can't speak Spanish, and I resent that," Peter Thomas, chairman of the Conservative Caucus, says in the report. "In public areas, people should be speaking English, and that includes pizza parlors."
