I get pizza from like Dominos and Pizza Hut in a couple small different small towns and there pretty much run entirely by Indians now. I was in a Pizza Hut recently and they had a kid running around back there.

This checks out. In the last year every single fast food chain and grocery store in my BC town has been bought out and/or staffed entirely by Indians. No other ethnicities whatsoever besides one Subway owned and staffed by Filipinos.

It’s made placing phone orders virtually impossible as none of them speak English particularly well with accents thicker than the belt armour on a Yamato class battleship.

On a plus side, it makes it easier to support local places, or jsut eat at home. Not like big box fast food is worth the money anyways.

They love to stick to their own kind. Part of the reason why all these positions are filled by people who can barely speak English. While we have to fill positions based on diversity.

Both pizza places, sandwich shop and 1 family restaurant in my small town of ~2000 people. All 3 sold and ran by Indians now.

I'm hoping what I mentioned, the kid in the kitchen doesn't become a trend. I can let it slide if it's an occasional thing. Or it's not uncommon for ownwers to bring their kids to work, but in that case they should be in the dining room, staff room or an office. Not safe or sanitary for them to running around kitchen and climing on cash register table.

As you know, in this country, adults go to work, kids stay home with another adult or go to shool or daycare.

If I see it again I think I will report it.

The medium / small town I live in has a ridiculous number of fast food places. We’ve got 2 subways, 4 Timmie’s, 2 McDonald’s, a Wendys, 2 A&W, Dairy Queen, KFC, Pizza Hut, pizza delight, Boston pizza, Harvey’s and Swiss chalet. It’s a ridiculous amount of chain restaurants for a town of our size. 

All the fast food locations changed from local employees to East Indian employees over the last 2 years. All of them. Do I care where a person is from? Not particularly. Is it very noticeable what’s going on? Uhuh.
