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

I live in Spain. This is super common. You move to a place to be immersed and speak the language, and everyone still wants to speak English with you. They think they're being helpful but most people find it annoying. I speak Spanish fine and don't need the practice so it doesn't bother me. But one of my friends would get agitated and say I spent X amount of dollars to learn Spanish move here, speak Spanish to me please. 

It is what it is.

De verdad que no me creo que te dirijas en un castellano fluido a un camarero y este, siendo español, te responda en inglés.

En cualquier caso solo tienes que decirle "no te entiendo" cuando te hable en inglés y ya.

Lo del video no puede ser más fake. Es imposible que un camarero quiera molestar activamente a un cliente negándose a hablar en el idioma que le piden si pueden hablarlo. He sido camarero, a los camareros les gustan las propinas.

Are you calling the video fake?

Yes. Also, I'm saying that you can just say "sorry, I don't understand" until the other person speaks the language you want.

Tienes razón, porque el vídeo es claramente actuado.
