i worked (and still working) retail in both burnaby and richmond. I don't speak canto but a lot of cantonese speaking people gives me crap because i "look like" i can speak canto but then i actually cant. They will say things like "oh you work here (aberdeen center) and you cant speak cantonese? How did you get the job" and shit like that (in very thick chinglish accent though lol). Though that is one of the more harsher things that was said to me but yea i do get attitude like that few times a week.
They also get mad when i speak english.....sooooo yea i often feel pretty stupid for things that are out of my control. But i get what you're feeling.
