Default Ording in Spanish at Chipotle, si o no?

What is the official OOT opinion on this?

It seems that Chipotle is far more likely that most places to put someone with terrible English skills in a customer-facing position, but at the same time it seems kind of pretentious and patronizing.

Well, you certainly wouldn't be out of line to do so at the one around the corner from my house. There's a 0% chance the person behind the counter would not understand you. In fact, I've been called "gringo" there.

And unless you're ordering in Mexico, it makes you look like a douche.

Burrito is burrito and Pepsi is Pepsi. They'll know what you're ordering no matter what the other words are. You might as well speak French the rest of the time.

How are they supposed to learn English if you speak to them in Spanish?

If the guy in front of my was super fluent and did it real nonchalant (sp?) then I wouldn't think much of it... But if you have the standard 4 yr high school spanish class thing going on you will look like an idiot.
