Not anymore. I customarily have to call a manager to help me translate Spanish-language signs in supermarkets and banks into English. Cashers don't even attempt to talk to the customers in English. At Home Depot, a greeter at the entrance, greets everyone in Spanish. The automatic answering for electric power and telephone, give instructions in Spanish FIRST, and then in English. Club applications at my local supermarkets are available in Spanish only, and a customer service person graciously offers to translate it for me into English.

So your little anecdote is supposed to illusrate what exactly? That English is not the dominant language but Spanish is?
