Taco Bell - Commercials
Complaint
Review by bingosherry on 2013-02-24
Rating: 
ELK GROVE, CALIFORNIA -- I want to know why Taco Bell's commercial are in Spanish. We are in America which the primary language is English not Spanish. I am very offended as my ancestors where required to learn English and not use their native tongue why is this any different. I also think that if companies want to provide help on their phone lines in other languages then English speaking people should not have to press 1 for English the other language should be pushing the button.
I am tired that the English speaking people in our country have to put up with all these other languages when they should learn English in order to live here. I promise you if you go to another country they do not cater to us.

You live in California, OP. There are probably more people there who speak Spanish as a first language than English.

I traveled all over Germany and everywhere I went there was English. In fact at almost all the restaurants they have English menu's available. They do cater to us much.
This is a free market issue and the market will dictate what languages are accommodated and which ones aren't. If enough people raise a ruckus then the Spanish commercials will stop and if not they will continue. As for me I don't give a fiddler's fart either way because quite frankly I have no use for Taco Bell.

I think some people need to stop worrying about stupid things like commercials. Its a commercial. Its Taco Bell, a place that serves mexican food. So why shouldnt they have commercials in spanish? Maybe we should also stop serving international food...since people seem to have such a problem with diversity in this country.

I agree with db, who agrees with jkt, who agrees with the OP.
Also - I have never seen a Mexican at a Taco Bell.

My take is if your in a different country learn he language don't expect everyone to cater to your culture.
My family is Russian and we had to learn English There is no press 1 for English, 2 for Spanish 3 for Russian.
*gasp* oh the horror taking a ESL class

Society is a finicky bunch to say the least. I have heard many a folks chastising Taco Bell for not being ethnic enough, and that their food is in no way close to that of traditional Mexican food (hard to argue that), but on the other hand we also ridicule them for making a vain attempt at trying to add a hint of ethnicity with commercials using Spanish.

See you can't please everyone so you got to please yourself."
