I fly out of here often. Unfortunately. First of all, I'm not your "Mommy," nor is my husband your "Papi." Please stop calling us by these names! This happens CONSTANTLY here! This is the United States of America, however this entire airport is filled with rude airline ticket agents, restroom attendants and food service personnel for whom English is not their primary language, and further, ANY ATTEMPT TO COMMUNICATE IN ANY OTHER LANGUAGE SAVE SPANISH apparently unacceptable here. I have nothing against Hispanic culture, but I do not speak the language and shouldn't have to here. The attendants in the main areas make zero effort to move out of your way and seem to literally like bashing into you then SCREAM spanish swearing (I assume) at you. The bathrooms are ALWAYS empty of towels and soap, water & towel dispensers which are motion detected DO NOT WORK. Other than singing and gossiping in Spanish, what are these people even doing here? I realize the food courts are individually owned but they all seem to throw together something other than pictured and rudely throw it in your general direction before short changing you. I feel there should be some kind of general standard by which each business located within MCO property should be held to. For example, when I rented a car at Thrifty, no one spoke English at all. They had to point to signs and point at where I needed to sign, then I had to click the key fob to figure out which Toyota was mine. It was a nightmare. I had an easier time communicating during my trip to Mexico last year. It's unreal. I understand that there's a lot of Hispanic people in FL but English is the language here - especially at the airport. Being bilingual is fine, that would be great for an international airport but these folks are not. There's only ONE language spoken here, and it isn't English at all and as a result I always have a terrible time getting around and finding my cars and so on.
