Area Dunkin' Donuts Takes Stand Against Spanish

(RTTNews) - Dunkin Donuts received a lot of flak on social media due to a sign posted in a Dunkin' Donuts outlet in Baltimore that asked customers to report employees speaking in languages other than English.

A sign posted at a Dunkin' Donuts in Baltimore asked customers to report employees speaking in a foreign language in exchange for a coupon for free food or a drink.

"If you hear any of our staff shouting in a language other than English, please call 443-415-7775 immediately with the name of the employee to receive a coupon for free coffee and a pastry," the sign said. It was signed by the general manager.

The sign was first reported by Gillian Morley, News Producer at WBAL-TV.

In a statement, Dunkin' Donuts said the general manager of the West 41st Street store posted the sign "based on her own personal judgment" to address a "customer service and satisfaction issue," the Baltimore Sun reported.

The sign has already been removed, the company said.
