Hindi at an American Electronic Store

Jeya Parasuram

Several months ago I went to a major electronic chain store. I was looking for an external hard drive. I asked a sales person what models of external hard drive they have and what is the largest available storage. He seemed like a South Asian. He answered me in Hindi. Although I had studied and passed Hindi examination in high school, I had forgotten Hindi long time ago. I was annoyed at his Hindi response and said, "What are you blabbering? Can you speak English?"

Another employee was standing behind a desk; later I found that he was an assistant manager. He walked to us and told the salesperson, "Talk to customers in English unless they talk to you first in your language". He then turned to me, apologized and took me to the aisle where they had hard drives.

>>>> Glad the world has been made whole again, what with the Assistant Manager himself coming down from his lofty station to chastise the salesman.
