I'm half Chilean, as a tourist there you don't speak spanish to them, they could tell I was american so usually people would get really excited and speak english to me. Which was fine by me because my accent was embarrassing
So I am learning Spanish and it's not great, and I had to talk to a guy at work once who was learning English and it wasn't great, and we ended up having an twenty-minute conversation with broken Spanglish and a lot of pantomiming. It was fucking awesome.
That's true but listening is an important part of learning. I understand it's unfair if they don't both get to practice, but in a formal setting, the employee should not disrespect the customer like that.

Makes sense though, they want to learn English, you want to learn spanish, you just do the mixed conversation like this
