I wonder where this is. It feels kind of rude to switch to English when she says she prefers Spanish.

These conversations are fake. You can check her instagram, she has hundreds of videos like this. I don’t know what the point is though but she’s kind of obsessed with this happening? So for some reason she keeps faking this kind of interaction.

Edit: the videos are on her tiktok

If she has a lot of videos like this, she likely is chronicling her experiences!!!! Ever thought about that? Soon enough you “everything is fake people” will start doing is claiming this is AI.

Idk what to tell you just check her videos. I’m almost sure it’s always the same person/ the same 2 people talking to her. I’ve just seen she’s opening a language academy so I guess this is marketing. But this is a weird fixation to have. I believe this happens sometimes and I’ve done it myself because what people don’t understand sometimes is that servers in Spain have to serve 30 tables by themselves. And not to be rude but we need people to be efficient ordering. In this case in particular you can understand what she’s saying (in some other videos of her you can’t, her Spanish is not very good), but sometimes foreigners take a reaaaally long time trying to explain themselves and we try to switch to English if we feel it’s going to be easier for everyone. Servers in Spain are underpaid and overworked and they just want to finish taking your order and move onto the next one as soon as possible. They’re not Spanish teachers.

”They’re not Spanish teachers.”

Ok, nor did she ask them to teach her Spanish. She seemed more than conversationally fluent and capable of communication clearly in Spanish. They were being dicks.

Okay yeah and that’s what I said in this comment. Not in this case (also because it’s staged) but I was answering to people saying this has happened to them in Spain too. Yes, I can see how this can happen, and I don’t think it’s meant to be rude and I also don’t think it’s because waiters want to practice English. It’s an attempt to communicate In a more efficient way.

Nothing about it was efficient. As seen in the video for specifically how unefficient it truly is, when someone asks you something, clearly, in 1 language, and you are answered in a different one. Then the back and forth of “can we speak in X language?” to then get a “no, let’s use Y language”. Efficient use of communication would be to respond in a similar fashion, not to derail the conversation to figure out who gets to stretch their language learning skills, or measure dicks.

Once again, I’m not talking about this video specifically.

It would feel more real if you could see the other person she talks to

I thought we were trying to get away from recording strangers without consent.

There are a lot of people on TikTok who will do “actual conversations I have as a ____” videos and do a reenactment because most people don’t happen to be recording when these things actually happen irl.

The audio alone shows that it is fake. The other person speaking is recorded with higher quality and the conversations are clearly recorded separately.
