And if they want to yack to one another in their native language in between customers, that's fine, too. But don't yack to other employees when you're with a client. Period.

Yep. I've been cut because mama was all engrossed with her girlfriend that came in to blab. She wasn't paying attention, because she was looking over her shoulder yapping away. I was not happy.
That has nothing to do with what language they are speaking.

But I have wished I could speak Mandarin once or twice during a manicure.😉
You KNOW they're smack talking us!
Most likely, they really aren't.

I was clearly referring to the point about yapping going on while someone's in the chair. I don't care what language they're speaking, they've got sharp implements near my skin. Pay attention and stop social hour.

As an English speaker living in another country, what really makes me mad is when I'm having a private conversation with a compatriot and people around us start gawking... and trying to listen in. I've even had people on public transport and in restaurants swivel in their seats to listen (sometimes they whisper to their neighbor that they don't understand all of it but that they get the gist). Then they get upset when I tell them how rude they're being (because it doesn't occur to them that I might actually speak their language too...).

People have the right to speak any language they want. It would only bother me if I knew for sure that they were talking about me.
