Larry Lynch I was thinking the same thing. Start complaining after 40 yrs. How does this stuff still make the news. 20 hours ago · Like · 1 person

Barbi Butler Yet it is difficult to get proper service in english with the gov't offices as many of them have horrible english. In fact I am certain some of them don't speak english at all. But you don't see us complaining. Even though they are suppose to be able to fluently speak both languages. 20 hours ago · Like · 8 people

Anne Marie Ricard I'm thinking how fortunate that this bilingual person is. He has no more serious issues in his life than this , that he can get to the co- op to shop and that he has all this time on his hands for trivial stuff such as this. Get over it. It's a good thing all bilingual people are not like this or is he the only one that shops at CO Op. (buy the way I think Super Value would be closer) 4 hours ago · Like · 1 person
