English-only cheesesteak ordering? Tell it to the judge Overlawyered "An English-only ordering policy at one of Philadelphia's most famous cheesesteak joints has prompted a city agency to pursue a discrimination complaint. The city's Commission on Human Relations plans to file the complaint Monday, alleging the policy at Geno's Steaks discourages customers of certain backgrounds from eating there, said Rachel Lawton, acting executive director." Owner Joseph Vento, who posted the now-famous signs telling customers, "This is America: When Ordering 'Please Speak English'", says "he has no plans to budge. 'I would say they would have to handcuff me and take me out because I'm not taking it down.'" (Patrick Walters, "City agency: Cheesesteak shop's English-only policy discriminates", AP/PennLive, Jun. 12; BizzyBlog; Bainbridge, Jun. 10).
