UNEMPLOYMENT PROBLEM


I cannot believe we have unemployment problems
When I a born in America, English speaking customer
Can go into any store and not be understood by the clerk
today I said, "How much?" No comprehend, thank you!"
"Pay thirteen dollars and fifty cents please."
"No, what is the unit price of the books?"
"Have a nice day---Thank you, thirteen dollar, pay."
"No, I am not buying until I know the price of each book."
"Thirteen dollars and fifty cents please!"
"You don't understand a word I am saying?"
"Sorry, thirteen dollars and fifty cents." Pointing
at the cash registrar and smiling blankly.
Called for the manager. He didn't speak English either.
In my limited Spanish I told them what they could do with the books.
They seemed to understand what I was saying
Como say yama mas burritoes los camino Grande Mesa to Mexico.
