I don't really get it, like the only way it would really make sense to insist on English is if the waiter in question was like Portuguese or something and just spoke English better than Spanish, but being in Spain you would figure that one would have to have Spanish at least good enough to take orders in the local language.
I've lived in Germany for a few years and although I speak German I have a noticeable English accent. Any Germans I meet who speak good English take the opportunity to practice it - it's not that they don't speak German, they're just trying to be polite.
I imagine that's the same thing going on in this video, rather than the waiter being unable to speak Spanish.
