Why not “Press 1” for Spanish, stay on the line for English.

Most likely because the phone system can't be configured that way.

I've heard "Para español, oprima el dos" and the rest of the menu was English.

Real question is why do you press 1 for English and get someone who doesn't speak English.

Because the population is headed to 30% Hispanic in about 40 years. So, better start now.

This seems to be more of a phenomenon people bitch about on Facebook than something I encounter in real life. I hear the Spanish message, but can’t recall ever hearing to press 1 for English.

Cool. But my plan is to refuse to learn Spanish regardless of demographics and force businesses to cater to me needs as a minority.

Spanish is not being retained at a high rate with each passing generation. It will always be around, but its not going to be as dominant as you may think...
