Do you have Beaners in your area?

[state 08]

What were they thinking when they thought of this name?


Looks like they changed their name to Biggby Coffee in late 2007.

I don't think this place would be in business long in Central California.

Rule #1 - Don't name your business after a racial slur.

I got a vacation once for using that word......so tread carefully.

 

[darianandre]

I honestly don't think we would mind that much. It would probably become a joke within the mexican community, but nothing more.

Are you kidding? I live in So Cal... :Q

I live in So Cal, none in my city.

Although, once you go into the neighboring areas ....

Where do you live, underground?

I came in here preparing to say "lol bye" and now I'm confused.

You obviously used it in a context that was offensive.

 

[TallBill]

Nope.

 

[Xonoahbin]

That's an offensive word to use, 'beloved patriot.' You might be getting a cruise for that one if you don't change that soon.

I remember Sambo's restaurants too.

I was thinking about opening up a tanning salon and calling it "Wetbacks" because if you've ever laid in a tanning bed you know what I'm talking about! :laugh:

But I'm not racist. I was just going with the flow of the thread (in which the people who started that flow did not get banned).
