I'm pretty sure people choose a sandwich shop based on the ability to make tasty sandwiches. And, he didn't say he "doesn't want (them) there," he just wants people to place a sandwich order which can be understood and processed in a timely manner. I'm not hopping on the "he hates all non-whites and is a member of the KKK" bandwagon. No thanks.

He could have the best sandwich on the planet earth. Every bite could give me an orgasm and I wouldn't buy it from him because he's a xenophobic asshole and a moron. I'm not saying the people at the sandwich shop have to know every language, but putting up an idiotic sign like that is a dickhead move, and I hope it costs him so much business he closes down.

I've been to Jim's Steaks and they were pretty damned good. I made the mistake of ordering with Provolone though. Next time I'm getting the Wiz. I heard the best cheesesteak in Philly is Steve's Prince of Steaks

His business, his freedom of speech, his freedom to risk running customers off. This is a non-story.
