Yes, this is all fine. All I'm saying is that if I can't understand someone who is providing me service, I'm likely to complain about it, and I'm less likely to bring my business back. I'm struggling with this currently, with a non-restaurant service provider. We've used pictures, Google translate, etc. It's not a great experience, and I'm complaining about it and if someone were to ask me who I used for the service, I would give a warning. Just because someone complains about it doesn't make them a nativist.
