There are others who will charge an English speaking white American or American born Latinos twice as much as they would a Mexican national while putting on the "my friend" act. There are others who are fairly non discriminatory concerning sales to their customer base, regardless as to how dishonest they are concerning legality or following appropriate business regulations. I still fail to understand how someone can come to this country illegally and penniless, work for peanuts, and still somehow open a restaurant. That is one tough business needing savvy and financial means, and regulatory and other hoops to be jumped through are daunting and difficult, often for the connected as well as the newcomer total stranger in town.

THIS store is begging for sympathy because those mean nasty gringos won't shop at their store. It's all the fault of the Americans. It's really racism.
Why didn't Blockbuster think of that when they closed? Or Hollywood Video? Or any of the other stores selling a technology that has become dated. This store knows (and is forced to admit it) that their customers have gone to buying their music on line. The only reason why anyone came through the door was to hang out and listen to some freebies. They need to all have a collective hand wringing. |

You can tell that they target certain communities because people from the town of Farmingville have said that the illegals started showing up over one summer. That fall their were so many foreign kids in the schools and no one knew where they were coming from. I think that as they target certain areas, they also are funding the new businesses. Also, don't be surprised if these businesses are getting our tax money to get started and don't forget those big money liberal foundations. |

You deal with a perishable product and fluctuating prices as well as a fickle public. Everyone from local governments to the EPA (who are unmitigated butt holes to business) has their hand out, quarterly taxes are essentially audited every quarter. That's not to mention compliance with the fire code (yes, the fire marshal is involved), local ordinances, and the health department. If you don't have your own money behind you, you are working for the landlord and whatever "money partners" are involved as well as everyone mentioned above. It seems to me that even in the best scenarios the restaurant business is a real juggling act. So how can penniless third worlders waltz in with some family recipies and a Betty Crocker cook book and make it? I've heard of the government loans to "immigrants", but haven't seen just where and whom to apply to. It can't be a secret. Does anybody know how a foreigner can arrive one day and get a loan from the US government to open a restaurant the next?
