Ask Thomas.
German tourists are known for being a bit...demanding when vacationing in the United States. Countless times I have witnessed a large pink German bellowing orders to some hapless waitress.
That is so German :lol:. I take it must have been in a touristy area?
The language problem is basically the same in every country. You wrote they were complaining about not getting a German menu. But it's the same with foreign tourists in Germany, too. They also keep asking for translations into their language.
You have no idea, how many people from abroad, who even live or work for extended periods in Germany, don't bother with learning at least some German and ask for translations into their language everywhere. But the fact of the matter is, that with the exception of airports and some areas with a strong foreign military presence you won't find it anywhere here.
And certainly you will not find it with a German service hotline for a German product, where in order to get one you have to have a German place of residence and a German bank account. But still there are many people, especially from England and the USA, who insist on getting everything in their mother language, too, just because the (worldwide acting) company was founded in America.
That last part is my annoyance of the day, by the way.

Are they still having problems? Thought they had sorted themselves out "on Monday" last, or was that BS?
