I was at Lerner today ordering a chicken sandwich for lunch when the cafeterialady gestured toward a guy and a girl in the queue, and said, “Will you do me a favor and go help that Chinese guy out? He’s trying to order something, but we don’t know what he wants because he can’t speak English.” So I go over to the dude and say, in Mandarin, “The woman said she doesn’t know what you want? Can I help you?” and he looks at me and doesn’t say anything, and then his lady friend says, in perfectly good English, “We speak Korean.” Um. Oh.
