I've never had an issue with my name, as it is a common name. I do have one customer who keeps coming into the store, and every time she asks me "what other language do you speak?".
I find this very annoying for two reasons. One, I was born in Canada, and my entire family immigrated here from England and Scotland. So, I have never learned any other language. (well, I was taught french in school but I only remember about 6 sentances). And two, she has asked me this probably a dozen times in the past six months, and every time I tell her I only speak english, she tells me she doesn't believe me and leaves.
Now I understand that I live in a multi-cultural country, but is it so hard to believe that some of us only speak one language.
