There is a point here.

Remember the furor over the walk up stand which had a sign stating that ordering was to be in English only? Charges of racism from under every rock and loud proclamations of boycott. I don't remember, but I believe there was actually a court decision that the sign had to come down.

If they offend me, I just don't patronize them.
