Is it normal that spanish speaking workers ignored me?
I went to a pretty authentic Mexican restaurant with my friend who is Mexican and speaks Spanish. The workers all spoke both Spanish and English. When they learned that my friend spoke spanish, they spent the rest of the time asking her questions about our food and what we want to drink in Spanish and she had to translate for me the whole time. I found it rude that they did not give us equal attention and ask us both questions in English since all of us speak English (including them and my friend). I’m not mad that they spoke in Spanish, I’m mad they ignored me because they only wanted to speak in Spanish to my friend. Do you think they were rude to me or did they not know any better and thought they were acting politely? I didn’t tell my friend it bothered me because I didn’t want her to feel bad for talking in her native language.
