English Only Cheese-Steaks at Geno’s

Seems Geno’s Steaks, a 44 year old source of Philly’s fame cheesesteak, is under-fire for some allegedly discriminatory signage.

Joe Vento posted the signs at his shop in October 2005. They read “This is AMERICA: WHEN ORDERING ‘PLEASE SPEAK ENGLISH.’”

Critics allege the policy discourages customers of certain backgrounds from eating there. They say the signs discourage non-English speakers from going to the shop.

I’m not sure how I stand on this — its his shop and the article did say no one is turned away due to their lack of English; it does say “please.”
