yesterday on the radio, i heard a walgreens commercial. it's a paraphrase at best, but here's what i heard, more or less.

"understanding your pharmacist's advice isn't always easy, but if you don't speak english, it can be even harder. that's why at walgreens, we are capable of printing instructions sheets in fourteen languages. if the walgreens you're at doesn't have someone who speaks your language, they'll call a walgreens that does. that's our way of serving you better."

at no point did they stop speaking english, or even mention the name of another language that might clue non-english speakers in to what they were talking about. if you at least said "spanish," one might think that enough people would hear that and know to at least ask.

idiocy knows no bounds. donde esta la gente inteligente?
