You’re condescending, I speak English too.

Jorge Alvarez,
Salt Lake City, UT.

One of the things that I find very annoying is when people say “Hola” right off the bat, “Si” or “Por favor, this”. Yeah I look like any other Mexican out there but I know English as well. Ditch the hola to not come off as patronizing and say “Buenas tardes” or buenos dias”. Doing that will show you are polite and you’ve made an effort to learn Spanish linguistic formalities.
