Random: Say Quoi!?!?

[zrath]

I was at the Westside Pavilion today.
I met this cool French guy who does sales and marketing for Revoltech figures for the Americas (North and South).
But that's not important right now.
I decided to grab a slice of pizza at Sbarro, the pseudo-Italian fast food mall court chain thingy.
I saw this sign enbedded in the counter next to the cash register.





I asked the cashier what language it was in.
She said she didn't know. Spanglish possibly.
I'm not even kidding.
(Bonus hilarity points: the cashier was Latino)

Okay, "bon" is definitely French.
"Appetite" is English.
If the whole thing was French, it would be "bon appétit".
Notice that's it's not even in Italian, eventhough Sbarro sells Italianesque food.
It would be "buono appetito" in Italian, as far as I know.

Sbarro language skills?

FAIL!!!

No, just Too European! They can't even stick to one language at a time anymore. Sad really.

Two minds, one single though, and even I know enough French not to commit such a foul paw. Your icon definitely says it all. XD

Franglais is not a pretty language.

Blame it on some Intern Graphic Designer that they didn't pay any money to that probably created that, and didn't KNOW any better, or didn't care cause, like, they weren't getting paid to do it.
