The owners say the English-only rule was to protect customers and
workers from being insulted. Instead of restoring peace, the policy
only heightened problems.

"The problem with defending the purity of the English language
is that English is about as pure as a cribhouse whore. We don't
just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other
languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle their
pockets for new vocabulary."
[James D. Nicoll]
