Video: The UPS Store Worker Allegedly Kicks Customer Out For Speaking Spanish - International Business Times

A United Parcel Service (UPS) employee allegedly kicked out a Spanish-speaking woman for communicating in her native tongue, the customer said.

Rebecca Prinstein visited a Miami branch of the package delivery company where she allegedly engaged in a heated exchange with a UPS employee after he requested for her to leave for speaking Spanish. Prinstein recorded the incident, which was later shared by both her husband and friend to Facebook.

UPS has since released a statement apologizing for the incident.


“All of The UPS Store franchises are independently owned and operated locations, and each franchisee is responsible for hiring their own employees in accordance with state laws and regulations,” the statement read. “The UPS Store, Inc. is an equal opportunity organization and we value diversity.”

The company says it’s investigating the situation.

The guy is speaking back to her in perfect Spanish and if you’ve ever been to Miami, the guy has a Cuban accent when he speaks Spanish. It seems like he’s young and doesn’t want Spanish spoken in the store, but no doubt about it, he’s Cuban.

What's your point? If he wants to conduct business in English more power to him. For all we know he may know this woman and she does know English.
