Conway Twittinski I would love to visit Alaska with a camera and a split bamboo fly rod. In the summer!
You and just about everyone else up here.
It's called combat fishing for a reason.

Interesting that you assume people complaining are white. (Saying the words to English carols or songs in Spanish does not make the music Hispanic. ) I also don't enjoy country western or hard core hip hop music. For me that will also never change.White people complaining about Hispanic music 🙄 some things just never change.
Tell me honestly that I'm wrong.Interesting that you assume people complaining are white.
To be clear, my only complaint was them playing a 15 minute medley lol. I like the Hispanic Christmas music, but there shouldn't be one song taking up the slot of 5 others lol.White people complaining about Hispanic music 🙄 some things just never change.
I honestly can't. I have no idea what the ethnicity of any of the people here is other than myself.Tell me honestly that I'm wrong.
To be fair, I AM white, and I brought it up so that's a fair point.White people complaining about Hispanic music 🙄 some things just never change.
About a third of the population of the city my store is in is Hispanic. Honestly who cares about the music, I feel bad when a Spanish speaking guest needs help and they have to wait 10 minutes for a Spanish speaking team member to translate.To be fair, I AM white, and I brought it up so that's a fair point.
I just don't like it when I can't understand any of the lyrics, and the melody isn't catchy enough to make up for it. I like some Hispanic music, with English lyrics, thanks.
What about using a translation app on your phone? I don't carry my phone with me on the floor, but so many TMs do, seems like someone nearby would be able to help.About a third of the population of the city my store is in is Hispanic.

I try to use that sometimes. But it's not always accurate. Text to speech barely works when I use it for English lolWhat about using a translation app on your phone? I don't carry my phone with me on the floor, but so many TMs do, seems like someone nearby would be able to help.
Maybe this would be a good thing to have on our zebras.
Not perfectly accurate, but generally well enough to do the job. I've used them with people from a variety of places around the world and found it helpful. Not enough to have a real conversation, but it's okay to relay information.I try to use that sometimes. But it's not always accurate. Text to speech barely works when I use it for English lol
Had a guest ask me a question by translation app the other day, worked perfectly. It can be very helpful.Not perfectly accurate, but generally well enough to do the job.

Many years ago, I worked in a university bookstore that had the ESL text contract with the school. (We were located in the international student center, so it made sense.) We had a lot of students from other countries shopping there and, as you might expect, they knew barely enough English to get by. I was often the one called over to help them, not because I knew their home language, which I definitely did not, but more because I was patient enough with them to figure out which course they were taking and therefore which book/s they needed. A translation app on my phone could have been so helpful, even if it wasn't perfect.
