This happened a few years ago.

The wife and I took a cruise and stopped for a day in Ensenada, Mexico.  We were wandering around town looking in various shops and just enjoying each other's company.

We entered a ladies clothing store and were looking at a blouse for my wife.  We asked the guy running the shop the price of the blouse.  Even though I speak fluent Spanish, we spoke to him in English because my wife speaks only English.  He answers "I don't know, I'll have to ask".  He goes into the back room and asks the owner of the shop for the price.  I could hear his whole conversation with the owner and heard the price she told him.  He came back and in English, gave us a price that was 3 times what he had been told to give us.

I answered him in perfect Spanish, loud enough for the owner to hear, that I would have paid the original price, but not what he had told us, and that we were going to take our business elsewhere.

I then told my wife what happened in English.  As we walked out the door I could hear the owner chewing him out in Spanish.

Don't ever assume a person doesn't understand your language.  You might just get an unpleasant surprise.
<bot>: Sales person in a shop lied to me about a price.  I caught him on it because I speak his language.
