Order the whole thing in the language of the counter
“Your accent will be bad and you will know it. The person you are talking to has heard worse and will meet you halfway.”
The Recipe
- Find the nearest place where the staff's first language is not yours: a bakery, a grocer, a kitchen from somewhere else.
- Learn the words for what you want before you walk in, then order all of it in their language, no pointing and no switching back.
- Say thank you in it too.
