We're not talking about jerks existing in the service industry.
With respect to this topic, it's kind of hypocritical for this Chinese woman (and her son) demanding Mandarin accommodation from a business establishment when clearly Richmond doesn't even have a strong culture of accommodating English within their business establishments.
Like mentioned examples:
1) Currently existing restaurants that do not have (or at best, poorly) English literate staff.
2) The strong sentiment against the recent motion to change Chinese only business signs, bus ads, etc to accommodate for English communication/translation. How many pages did that thread get? How mixed was that discussion in that thread alone?
