Please Speak English

I know Miami is composed of 63% Hispanics, but that doesn't mean that we should change the official language to Spanish. I’m of Hispanic decent, I look Hispanic, just like the rest of my Hispanic looking family, and I do know Spanish so when I speak it, it’s usually directed at my grandmother and her older sister, but those are usually the only occasions that I actually use my second language unless it’s to speak to someone from another country.

So when I go to a Westland Mall and I am purchasing the Tony Bennett American Duets CD, why does the cashier (which it's plainly clear that she knows English) decide to address me in Spanish? I’m not one of those individuals that gets annoyed with Latinos who only know Spanish, but I’m one of those people that gets annoyed with Americans with a Hispanic Heritage who enable those individuals to interact in the community without ever making an attempt to learn the language of the land.
