A person already needs to meet certain qualifications to be a pharmacist. The pharmaceutical industry is apples and oranges to the free market.
And I have to assume reading and writing the language your operating is one of them right?
"A white-owned store denying black people reflects badly on the community it is a part of. If an establishment disallows black people from entering, black people will be pushed away from the entire community... not just that establishment. One store denying black people actually infringes on its neighbors' businesses."
"You would need to see multiple stores of that nature, and if that was the case, the stores are not infringing upon neighboring businesses."
We do see clusters of stores like this on the gulf border areas. Infringment of rights is universal and not based on the volume of offensese in a community by the way, I'm not sure why your being selective in what you think is infringement is. Well actually I suspect its because your selectivity aids your political leanings.
I've seen spanish used as a way to disrespect "gringos" by using a language the target doesn't understand while the community around it laughs at the punch line being delivered in spanish. in person no less. 1st generation hispanics appear to be pretty danm raciest (Ethnic pride they call it, but in reality its the same superiority complex that plagued the US prior to the civil rights movement. I'm sure this cultural built in racism I've observed is an offshoot of the machismo culture that spews out of latin america but it causes them to disparage hispanics that have assimulated in the US. Since assimulated hispanics have assimulated more rational American values that don't constantly engage in dick measuring or stretching excersises with their neighbors hostile 1st generation hispanics view late generation hispanics as easy targets to swing their dicks around.
I don't mind them using spanish in their private lives and I don't have issues with 2 business people dropping to native spanish when they encounter each other, but I do believe it should be mandatory for them to learn english for the purpose of upward mobility (I do want to see economic grows in hispanic communities) but I admit its hard to feel sympathy for a community that is openly hostile to assimulated hispanics and observe the use of spanish as a club over the heads of late generation hispanics and americans in general. This use of spanish is not the inclusive in this regard and some one on the left should recognize why we late generation hispanics don't feel compelled to tolerate it when used in that offensive fasion.

A store denying race hurts the community it's in. A store hiring non-English speaking workers hurts only the store. That's the answer to your question. If you're a white person and one store hiring non-English speaking workers irritates you to the point where you leave the community, that's on you. If there are multiple stores hiring non-English speaking workers within a community, it's the community you have a problem with, and not the store, which throws your economic argument out the window.

Thats not what I said at all. I said it was about exluding english speakers from the exchange of business by hiding behind their language while alot of these passive aggressives have demonstrated they know english. Its a passive aggressive discrimination that exists because the civil rights movements have all banned more direct approaches by law. And your again mis representing me when you talk about my econimic argument which is a disconnected statement from the racism I've been observing. I'm really gettig tired of the left trying to misrepresent the arguments of the right to advance their agenda. No one is falling for that nonsense anymore so stop trying to misframe my arguments. Notice I said arguments as plural.
And I believe I've stated that I'm not white but a late generation hispanic.

Again, announcing English as the official language does nothing unless you attach laws to it. And when you attach such laws to businesses, you are calling for those businesses to be regulated by your personal opinion rather than the free market.
So let's say that, in order to avoid your little problem of 'passive aggressive' establishments hiding behind language, employees are now legally obligated to speak English. Oh shit, people who are mute or have incredible speech impediments can no longer work. And that's just the tip of the iceberg. You don't realize it, but you are opening a can of worms by changing the free market to adhere to your personal opinion because it's an opinion you haven't thoroughly fleshed out.

None sense calling for a standard in business is not about opinion but about expanding the scope of commerce. For example I also explained I advocate switching to the metric system as well to ease business transactions with the rest of the world. Plus we get the benifits of easy base 10 conversions. Same goes for language. We already mandate that english be tought 12 years of your life in public schools and we seem to mandate in certain professional positions a non negligent practice of highing educated people to positions that would be dangerous to human life otherwise. And at the very least we seem to show a preference for educated people in the work force in general. Requiring a standard language for commerce has been argued vary well by people other then myself. You just not accepting the logic behind it cause you believe the mandate is exclusionary and worse yet you think this is an attempt at cultural superiority which its not.
Also I'm not advocating anything be done about passive aggressive spanish speaking businesses other then to suggest that the public not attend businesses that can't be bothered to hire people that have even graduated highschool to customer facing positions. I'm merly pointing out that they are using the language barrier to exclude people(I hear alot of these people that previously speaking english dropping to spanish when an upperclass white person enteres the establishment. Like wtf is that about. I don't have sympathy for people that use that barrier as a club to be raciest (I aggree with you dlancer in this regard)just like I don't have sympathy for the white guy getting irate cause 2 native spanish speakers have dropped to native spanish during their business transaction. I advocate adding english as a required (yet non punitive) option to all business transactions. Even if you think this will have no effect (Which I believe it will) why would you block such a measure if you have concluded its ineffective.
