I wasn't stereotyping at all. Our FoodCity markets are patronized by 90%
Spanish speaking customers and employees. By the looks of their fresh
produce Vallarta Market looks as if a majority of their customers would
be Spanish speaking. You would think that they would have written the
site in Spanish or at least bi-lingual.
