(35,300 posts)If you're in NYC you want to have the staff at a store "look like" the clientele.
So you accommodate the community you're in. A frequent enough line. It has consequences if you really believe it.
I've gone to stores where wait staff wasn't able to help me in the dominant language. Heavily non-English-speaking area, it was important for the wait staff to be absolutely fluent in the community language and culturally savvy. Had to wait for assistance. Then wait to pay. If the help had been truly bilingual, they'd have probably found better jobs.
If you're in parts of London with a heavy Asian presence, you want the staff to have a significant Asian representation. Many are Muslims. Some are fairly conservative, for a wide variety of reasons (ranging from what they believed as they were raised to what they choose, for whatever reason, to accept now).
