Who cares?  This is one hoaggie shop in one city. It means nothing. Either you want a sandwhich or you dont.

At least he comes out and states what he expects.

If one big company moves out of his serving area... that kind of biz sinks fast. I have felt- that when in ethnic shops that I got a larger serving if i tried to speak their language. I dont know if I actually did,...just a hunch.

I wont lose sleep over this.

Actually I like to see lively discussion. 
Even if it's over a Philly cheesesteak.

Is this guy any more fringe than  No Frills, a Nebraska grocery store chain who has made it madatory that store managers, butchers and pharmacists speak Spanish, in addition to English ?

Geno's is the " hoagie shop " you ar referring to, and it is one, if not the most well known Philly Cheesesteak joints in Philly  <Pat's is pretty well known too.> I grew up outside Philly and it has been around since the 60's. It's not just well known within the Philadelphia area.   I really don't think their business will suffer at all.
The place is actually alot of fun. You have to have you money in hand and ready to state your order as you approach the counter or you go to the back of the line. They have been doing this long before Seinfeld's Soup Nazi. You have to order your Cheesesteak " wit or witout" fried onions, and say it that way or you are looked on as an tourist or outsider. They lines are often out to the streets, particularly on a sporting event day/eve.


Now you have some useless information, but may make interesting conversation someday.

If you ever visit Philly, people, see Independence Hall, the Liberty Bell, the Art Museum, maybe also the Rodin Museum.  If you miss Geno's or Pat's, you'll survive.

You don't want any of our burgers today because me and Doogie put in our secret ingredient.... semen.... animal semen!

Perhaps the cat went into the philly & cheese, and the semen into the Burger Shack boiggas?

Well, if it's good pastrami--otherwise it sucks...
