Hubby will go off when public events have people who don't speak English have interpreters when addressing the group. "Is there an interpreter for the Vietnamese person? How about the Bengali person? Or the Latvian!" Hubby has weird racism issues that haven't borne close inspection. To his minimal credit, he'd probably be just as obnoxious about English/French signs near Quebec. Or German/English signs in Germany (but then he knows German).

I've had family members complain about this too. I tend to appeal to capitalism and suggest the store is just doing what they think will help the bottom line.

I'm on the cusp of finishing chapter two. I'm all excited about it since chapter three brings two pivotal characters into the story.
