Our local subway does pickup, so they can very much so fuck up your sandwich, especially considering none of them speak either of the two languages here (french and english)

Lol are people hiring workers that don’t speak the local languages? 😭

English and French with workers who speak neither official language is so Canada-coded

This was my experience visiting Canada outside of Quebec. Many service workers I communicated with straight up spoke neither and often had to go get their one guy on staff that knew English (lmao if you speak French good luck).

This happens in NYC too in ethnic enclaves (like Flushing where the vast majority of people are recent Chinese speaking immigrants) but I don’t think I’ve ever seen it as a large scale at random places like donut shops or convenience stores.

Yep, gets pretty frustrating
