I went to a restaurant that was hiring and they told me to do a trial the next day. I arrived and started working in the kitchen, no one greeted me, and with signs they told me to talk to the Hispanic guys. Even though I was talking in English the whole time they still thought I was not able to communicate, but oh well I rather speak in Spanish.
