I mean, it depends where you go in Spain right. If you're working in an office in Madrid and someone gets annoyed that you don't speak English that's one thing, if you're working a restaurant in an area that makes all its money from tourism, then surely it makes sense to make those people bringing in the dough feel comfortable.
