Background: Blue collar workers have been messy. Someone spilled a cup of coffee.
Old White Secretary: I cant believe it, Ramp Manager(Ecuadorian) told him not to clean it up, that "We have people for that". Can you believe that?
Old White Man: I think it may be a cultural difference, in some cultures, south of here...They have people to clean stuff and they believe its below them, the cleaning people will clean. Its a cultural thing.
Old White Secretary: I don't know what you mean. We don't have many mexicans that work here. We have some from Ecuador, but not Mexico.
Old White Man: Well, its the same, I believe its cultural, some cultures....South of here....believe that they are above cleaning up after themselves. They have "People" For that and they wont do it.
Old White Secretary: Well they need to clean up their own messes. I don't care if its their culture back home, if you make a mess clean it up.
Old White Man: I agree, it may be okay....south of here....but if they make a mess they need to clean it up. (Ramp Manager) needs to know it may be acceptable where he is from, but its not here. It's cultural.
(Painfully awkward Conversation about Latin American Culture by referring to it as "South of Here" continues exactly like this for 5 minutes)
