It certainly takes a lot of guts and patience to endure the "crap" while on-stage.

I have started to speak to non-English speaking guests in their native language, manily Spanish, once again after vowing to speak only English. The only downside to this is the way they speak English afterwards. I still feel as if my mind is being played with, yet I find it expedites many things. The lines certainly aren't held up as long because some people don't know what "How many people in your party?" means or stare at me wondering what I'm saying. It still hurts my feelings when they switch back to English after they speak to me in their native language, which I kindly speak to them in if I feel like it.

Why speak to me in a foreign language when you're not going to be consistent with it anyway, especially since you don't know me? And why pretend to not know English when you do? Don't tell me you don't speak English, I'm standing in front of you, listening to you speak the language just fine.

After they've switched back to English tell them, in Spanish, that you don't speak English. That should be good for a few double takes.

i get to the point that i will talkto them in spanish of the numbers cuz they cant seem to get the concept of 1 through 6 in english or spanish. they also dont understand get out of the rocket, get behind the yellow line, and get back. The other day we were back up at unload and they decide to run back to try to get in the train. i station stopped when the 4th train came in and of course we went down a few seconds later when the fifth train tried to come in. one of our cast members told them look what u just did. u broke our ride but i dont think they cared.
