I eat most of my meals out and I do a lot of people watching. It's always amusing to watch a Chinese waitress in a Chinese restaurant trying to communicate to customers in Spanish, for example, which I watched for a while one day a couple of weeks ago.

A Taco Bell just opened near me. I have had no previous experience with Taco Bell so I've stopped by a few times for snacks. I live in a very ethnic area. I have noticed no ethnic majority at Taco Bell, certainly no majority of English speakers. Lots of this and that. The other day I watched several patrons--a middle aged Latino worker, an elderly white woman with a middle aged black woman who appeared to be a helper, and a pair of Indonesian men all swipe handfuls of those little packets of hot sauce on their way out. Today I watched two Muslim women, draped head to toe in black, there with a little girl, do the same thing.

I think people are pretty much alike.
