Visited a dumpling shop in Beijing and there it went a fight between a caucasian and the locals. The guy ordered a red burnt beef noodle 紅燒牛肉麵. Anyone who tried the mainland Chinese red burnt beef noodle should know it's a bit mild hot and spicy. So this guy was freaked out with this noodle and complained it's not specified on the menu. At first the waitresses couldn't communicate with him on what he complained. Then this guy yelled "what a fxxking country is it. No one can speak English...". When the waitresses chatted on how to respond to him, this guy was even mad "Speak in English. Don't talk among yourself in Chinese.". I really hope he could talk to the Chinese police like that. So a lady passing by tried to help him on explaining why the noodle is spicy as the soup base is already spicy and suggest him take another one but he insisted on getting beef. Then my friend asked me to go help them. I refused so as I don't wanna speak to a person who supposed people in every place to be able to speak English. Besides, he could go to a 5 star hotel for a noodle. No need to try this type of local shop which charges less than US$2 for a noodle. Finally the shop changed the noodle for him. Well, if it was a local asking for that, they wouldn't care and entertain for it. That's why I don't intend to be a mediator.
