That’s how it was in NL too.

We’d say hello / good morning in Dutch and they’d clock my accent and switch to better English than I could muster.

    My gf studied Dutch for years, came over to NL, spoke to my parents in Dutch, all good.

    Then we ordered things in a café. She kept speaking Dutch, the waitress understood, but kept replying in English with a heavy accent. Then switched to Dutch when speaking to me.

    I've always heard those stories and couldn't imagine anyone being so rude but yeah.
