I feel your pain, Lord Wong. California is a bastion of immigrants who can't speak English for shit but work the counters of fast food joints and theaters anyway.
At the Jack in the Box near where I used to work, there was a Hispanic woman working the counter every time I went there for lunch. Every single time I placed my order, I'd have to repeat myself three to four times veeeerrrrryyyy…slllllooooowwwwlllllllyyyy…and about 1/4 of the time the order STILL came to me fucked up. Needless to say, I quit eating there pretty quickly.
A few months ago, I went back there one evening and found a White woman at the counter. I gave my order once, it went through, and it was perfect.
What a surprise.
But that's not the worst…that honor goes to the snack bar at a local movie theater. All I wanted was a simple damn Coca-Cola. I said Coke I don't know how many times…FIVE at least. The little Hispanic girl behind the counter just stared at me stupidly. It was only after I made a drinking motion with my hand that she understood what the fuck I was talking about!
Is this only a North American problem? From what I've heard, if you live in Spain, you'd better damn well speak Spanish…if you live in France, you'd better damn well speak French…etc.
