Damn, 90% is quite a bit! But to each his own. You must come into contact with a ton of FOBs (Fresh Off the Boat). And those are usually the people that are like what you described at your local Meijer. Because trust me, I know many that are not like that! But I highly agree with you on learning English. My mom has been hounding one of my cousins because she isn't taking the time to learn English. She can speak it, but not very well. Even my cousins are getting on her and are wanting to send her home because of the lack of her TRYING to learn. Even my family, who is from a foreign country, believe that if you come to the USA you need to know how to speak English. Its funny because my cousin's kids can speak English better than she can....but they do learn it in school over there. (My family is Filipino)
