Was the cashier an L2 speaker and/or was she being intimidated by her boss?  Things that need to be asked of those directly involved....  Still I am glad that Dr. Lewis continued to speak in his language, Welsh!<br><br>Eekoshi.<br>

It's an interesting tale. It mentions that he'd been speaking with the cashier in Welsh before she(?) gave the price in English. I'm gonna guess that she was a Welsh L2 speaker, maybe slipping back to English when she had to do math.

<div>If that's actually the case, then did Lewis do the right thing? I agree he has the "right" to conduct his business in Wales in Welsh, but is this the way to encourage L2 speakers?</div><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888">
