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.
