Im not talking about the % at that given time, but the makeup the vast majority of the time. Ive been at some stores where the csr spoke little to no English, that too makes you stick out when it seems the vast majority of the customers arent speaking English

But it is a YMMV issue when what may work in 1 locale wont in another

I just find that when I dont fit in as a part of that stores general customer population that the csrs look at me differently
