So at McDonald's today I ordered the two for $2 Quarter Pounder Meal, however the girl didn't hear me or something (perhaps she was ignoring me) and she only rung up the sandwiches -- not the whole meal. When I asked her about this as she handed me an incomplete order the cashier next to her tried to alleviate the "problem". Now there wasn't really a problem, but it was escalating into one. Now the Manager is there and they're all talking to each other about me and my order. The problem was, however, that they were all doing it in Spanish. All three of them are bi-lingual. Individually their English is great. They grew up speaking both languages. There's nothing in their English accents that betrays that they are fluent in Spanish as well as English. At least nothing stereotypically betraying, like "J"s instead of "H"s or a constant mentioning of Jalopeño peppers and molé. The problem was that they were speaking Spanish about me, and I was only two feet away, looking at them. I should have been part of that conversation seeing as how it directly affected me. I wanted to slap them all and say, "I'm right here!" Why in the hell is it necessary to change languages. Are the operational workings of McDonald's such a secret that customers aren't supposed to know what's going on? It's not as if McDonald's has a secret tunnel system underneath it that I'm not supposed to know about. Frankly, it was rather rude. I don't have a problem with people speaking other languages. I have a problem with other languages being used as code. They are discussing my order, I would like to be part of the conversation seeing as how I'm the one that will be paying for and eating the food. It made me commiserate with dogs that hear their owners talk about taking them to the et-vay to get eutered-nay. What in the hell is an et-vay and what is eutered-nay. I'm pretty sure you guys are talking about me, and I'd like to be part of this conversation. I get the feeling that this somehow directly involves me.
