Where do you draw the line at wrong food orders?

They understand english just fine unless you want them to fix their mistake. If they aren't willing to try, then I'm done trying.

Ok, I misunderstood.

To add to my prior, if you own a mistake and make right on it that's almost as good as not making it in the first place.

Different context, much higher stakes there. I was only talking in the "customer service" sector.

Maybe don't complain if you didn't show up to court on a murder charge...

The whole Covid thing has made the whole fast food experience worse than it was (pretty impressive really).

During the demplanic, my wife and I decided to support a new local asian take away place. Wife ordered and paid for it online (which I never do). We show up to pick up our food and they insist we don't have an order. The owner came out to my truck to apologize profusely to us, I think, using the ten english words she could pronounce and would not step far enough away to let me drive off.

I was really working on being decent but finally got it across to her that I would happily starve to death on her doorstep before I ever ordered from them again and doubtless the food from her establishment was as poisoned as the product of her mother's womb.

Before someone paints me as racist or xenophobic, I understand how difficult it is to learn a foreign language, work happily with english-second-language people from all corners of the world, have travelled to numerous countries and loved the people there even though I had difficulty communicating. But... If I decided to open and manage an American dining establishment in Harbin, Mexico City, or Prague I would understand that soneone in the place would need to be fluent in the local language.
