It's Chipotle. Pull it off at a real Mex restaurant. This would be kinda dumb.

Order in Thai at a Thai restaurant = cool.
Ordering in Spanish at a fast food restaurant = lame.

KRAMER: You suffer for your soup.

SOUP NAZI: Yes. That is right.

KRAMER: You demand perfection from yourself, from your soup.

SOUP NAZI: How can I tolerate any less from my customer?

CUSTOMER: Uh, gazpacho, por favor.

SOUP NAZI: Por favor?

CUSTOMER: Um, I'm part Spanish.

SOUP NAZI: Adios muchacho!


ps. OP, you are a douche.

Why am I a douche?

I saw some big fat white guy do it earlier today and it seemed pretentious and patronizing to the counter guy(who clearly spoke English but poorly). I ordered in a combination of English and pointing because it was loud.

I go to one Mexican place and order in Spanish, but that's b/c my Spanish is roughly as good as their English, and I like to practice Spanish

I am so tired of trying to communicate with bad English speakers that I am considering learning Spanish. There is a burrito place near my work where you leave your name for your order. I always leave an hispanic name just so they can say it.

Most minimum wage employees really don't like it when you try to be cutesy and will go laugh at you the first chance they get, so I'd say no. Also I doubt Chipotle is any more likely to have Hispanic workers than any other fast food place, and at any rate it's not like you would need to speak spanish to them for them to understand you, they're not dumb.

Op: Speak in english at first. If they have trouble understanding you then you can consider speaking spanish (provided you are semi-fluent).
