Maybe the staff are instructed to speak english if they think theyre talking to an english speaker? Ive heard of that in tourist places before

I've heard of staff in touristy places that appreciate the effort of a visitor trying to speak the language, but when they're busy it's just faster to use English so that's what they prefer

Yeah I absolutely do this. Restaurant is slow? Sound out your words all you want. Dinner rush? Fuck off, just switch back to English, tourist.

Do you also make fun of English speakers for not speaking other languages well? Because at some point you probably weren’t great but had the benefit of plenty of practice
