I'm in Mexico again. Heard a joke last night. What is the difference between Miami and Cancun? In Cancun they speak English.
Nail on the head with that one! Worked in Hialeah for 5 years, and the minute I left work, I hightailed it to my condo in Ft Likkerdale. When I first started there, I would make purchases in the supermarkets and such. not one cashier, or butcher spoke english. I asked the store manager why this was the case. "Because we don't need to", was the reply.
From that point forward, I vowed never to spend another dime in miami.
Years ago I went into a brand new Publix in Palm Beach County in a largely Jewish area.At one point a new Publix Grocery store opened in one of the south suburbs of Miami. I went in and ordered the same sandwich I had been ordering for years at any and all Publix Groceries. The kid struggled as best he could to tell me that they could only make my sandwich with Cuban bread. I looked up the manager and although his accent was strong he did speak enuff English to understand me. I told him I had been ordering this sandwich for years at any and all Publix Groceries, but the kid back in the deli dept if i had understood him said I had to have a sandwich from some imported bread, The manager called the deli and they made me my sandwich!

In that case let me remind everyone that the pronunciation of Miami is MEE - AAAAH- MEE, not MY - EEAH - MEEE.
You don't want the locals to know that you are from out of town or a native English-speaker. lol

They carried no pork products in the meat area or deli.
