I had a couple friends in school, dad was from Uruguay, mom was from Puerto Rico, and they came to visit us in a pretty monochromatic area of the US recently(ish)
We decided to go to a specific Mexican restaurant because apparently one of my friends talks about it all the time to his out of state family.
Immediately upon walking in, both of their faces light up and they go back to Spanish (they speak with heavy accents and a surprising number of people get shitty about it) and they begin speaking to the staff, who just returned blank stares.
Almost none of them speak Spanish. The only few who could all work in the kitchen.
I have never had to work so hard to contain my laughter, because it was just hilarious to me. I can understand why they were not happy, but it was funny to me.
