Getting It All In Español, Part 2
(A group of guys come in speaking Spanish, which I understand and speak fairly well. They shove the one white guy in the group forward to talk to me, the white hostess.)
Guy: *in English* “Hi, uh, can we get a table for eight, please?”
Me: *in English* “Sure thing. I think I have one cleared off, but let me go check for you.”
Guy: *in English* “Yeah, no problem.”
(I go to check the table. It is clear. When I get back, the guys are talking to the bartender in Spanish.)
Guy: *in Spanish* “The girl here was pretty cute, huh, man?”
Bartender: *in Spanish* “Yeah, she’s okay.” *looks at me, says in Spanish with an evil grin:* “Hey, white girl, is the table ready yet?”
Me: *in Spanish* “Yeah, it’s ready. Come on, guys.”
(The whole group blushed bright red. They were very polite to the staff the whole time and left us a great tip!)
