excuse me ?

I've started my part time as a waitress and this particular experience is worth sharing. lol. basically about how people easily downgrade others. /ugh/

well, English is not Malaysia's first language. it's second or for some people third or foreign. so, there's this one girl asking me while browsing the menu

"what's your special here?"

as she asked me in English, ofc i'd reply in English as well. and it's my nature that I speak in a fast pace. after I finished 'promoting what's nice' I look at her and oh boy, her face was totally spot on. puzzled and taken aback I shall say.

".. o-okay.."

that's when I realized she was using her little /sorry not sorry/ English while assuming I do not know the language AT ALL. newsflash girl, I'm an English major. 4th year student at that. /smirk/

just because  I am a waitress doesn't mean I am a school dropout who failed my English and any other subjects. /roll eyes/
