so i work at a starbucks and i asked the customer if he wanted a room for cream in his coffee he said "yes a little pocito" which is spanish for little bit. it kinda pissed me off cause yes i look hispanic and have just a slight accent but you dont need to talk to me like im too ignorant to understand english
the next day another customer comes in and i ask him if he wants the pasty in a for here plate or to go bag and he reply " im sorry english please"
am i over reacting i mean should i just be like okay whatever or is it okay that it bothered me?

You should tell them to speak English since they live in the USA.

This. however if people are being ignorant on purpose, jsut ignore it. You can't change people's views, just don't take them to heart.

Wetbacks is a (mean) term for mexicans. There are other types of hispanics.

Not really much you can do, you can't burst out raging at a customer without risking your job so I'd just let it slide for now...if it happens outside of work and it bothers you than go ahead and say something about it.
