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?

I really don't see why you give a shit. I have a Dutch accent and people don't understand me on occasion, woopdifuckingdoo. Just say it again.

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.

now way wetbacks should be respected too.

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

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

Eh, I talk in random spanish all the time. He may have done it without realizing it.

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.
