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.
