About where are you that the guys are speaking Spanish?
I have a house with my wife in Mexico, and I’m here now, she is a doctor here and doesn’t want to immigrate to our home in Northern Alberta where I spend the majority of my time due to work.
She and her family are always introducing me to different styles of cooking from different states of Mexico and most of it is fabulous.
I have been introducing them to the food I grew up with, Alberta has a large Ukrainian/ Eastern Europe population from immigration in the 40’s. As well as Northern Europe, Irish (like myself), Scottish, Scandinavian etc.

I'm in central Maine pretty much. I can make the Atlantic coast in about a half hour. There's a few Mexicans scattered about here and there, and maybe moreso as of late. I didn't even hear the guy speaking Spanish myself, but unless the person they were talking to only speaks Spanish then it seems kind of rude.
This seemed like your typical scenario of employees not liking their job and just being there for the paycheck – I get it though. First mistake was trusting the guy to not let this big heavy custom window that I made to drop on the ground as I was tapping it out from the inside. That was a fail and it sliced my left index finger on something on the way down; he didn't say a word and quickly walked away, and that was a little weird.
In retrospect, there were a few things wrong with that delivery, but the washer and dryer seems nice though after all is said and done – it seems like alien technology in comparison to the old stuff. We're still figuring the washer out after a couple test runs. It does seem to shake a little on the spin but not too bad. I did check it with a homemade level(cup of water with a line), and it looks pretty close.
I've been indulging a lot of burgers lately. I don't usually care for burgers much but these Philly Gourmet Beef are the best!!
I'm Irish on my fathers' side.
Cheers
