Should McDonalds employees have to speak English?

Perhaps this is a tacit admission of just how "racist" I am, but I didn't catch this on the Real World the other day. Apparently Trisha, the one white chick I'm not as crazy about went into a McDonalds and tried to order a McFlurry, but couldn't because the woman behind the counter couldn't speak English.

I can't claim to have ever tried a McFlurry here in the best country evar or otherwise, but I guess down in Australia McDonalds carries some shit called a Crunchie McFlurry. Trisha figured she might try one, but she wanted to sample it first, because she wasn't sure how it would be. Which seems like a reasonable enough request to me. After all, it might have some Vegemite or kangaroo or some shit in it.

She tried asking for a sample, but the woman behind the counter couldn't understand what she was saying. So Trisha was just like, Fuck it. The following is from an account of the incident in the Daily Telegraph, a newspaper in Australia.

While in the fast food store, [Trisha] said: "I'm like, well I'd take the f....n' Crunchie one but I don't know what it tastes like because you wouldn't give me a sample,'' she said.

"I'm like, you know what, keep the money, maybe take some English lessons - I'm leaving cause you don't know how to speak English.''

Damn.

Now the Asian community down in Australia is all pissed, because the woman behind the counter was an Asian, which of course makes Trisha a racist. Nevermind the fact that she didn't mention shit about this woman being an Asian.

What do you 'bags think? People who work at McDonalds should have to know how to speak English, right? Especially if they're the ones taking your order. Also, how is it racist to be upset with someone because they don't know how to speak English? I've heard Australia has its share of race issues. Is this the kind of shit that goes on there?
