(My boyfriend and I are waiting in line to be served. We’re chatting about what food to order, but not in English. As we approach the cashier, she looks up and folds her arms.)
Cashier: “I hope you foreigners are planning on ordering in English.”
Boyfriend: “Pardon?”
Cashier: “We’re in the UK; you should be speaking English, not whatever [racial slur for Pakistani people] gibberish you were speaking.”
Boyfriend: “Actually, we’re in Wales, and we were speaking Welsh.”
Cashier: *turns red and runs off*
