««The guys in the kitchen are Hispanic, so they speak Spanish and English. The girls at the front desk only speak the international language, English. »»
It is not enough is it, to speak only English? If the Spanish speaker can solve the problem it means it is necessary to have someone at least that speaks one romance language. Is it very difficult to reach to this conclusion? That would stop the screaming. It seems you like to see people getting desperated. You do not understand what the tourist say and wait to call for someone to translate when he starts screaming? Funny.
««You think that screaming at people is justified just because they don't speak your language, when you are in their country? You're nuts!»»
And the people scream because they are happy isn't it? It is because there is something wrong you can not solve and leaves them desperate.
How nice to pay to stay in a hotel and you get upset to the point of screaming. I bet they don't scream because they think people are deaf.
One thing is to scream with a person that speaks your language and is making you upset, another to scream with a person that will not understand a thing you will say. That is calling for attention.

And you think that is a big thing? You think other European capitals are less international than California? In Europe people at the front desk do have to speak two or three languages in most hotels. The same in travel agencies, even in some shops that deal with tourists they employ people than can speak two or three languages.
««and Portuguese and Italian STILL wouldn't be in that list!»»
How do you know?
It depends of the hotel; if they have Portuguese or Italian tourists on a regular basis you may find someone working in the front desk that speaks Portuguese or Italian.
From California inns and hotels advertisements:
"We have an international staff and between us, we speak English, Spanish, Portuguese, Czech, & German."
"The innkeepers speak: Greek, Mandarin, Portuguese, English, French, Italian, Spanish"
It may not be spoken by front desk staff in some cases but they do offer translation services.
