When I ordered I spoke to the lady in English, she understood me/what I ordered, but only replied to me in Spanish. She counted my change back to me in Spanish, and told me "thank you" in Spanish when she handed me my bag. I felt that was really rude of her, and was tempted to go back and order a meal in German.
I would definitely write a letter to the local newspaper and McDonald's corporate headquarters. IMO, that's the same as if she was standing there picking her nose while she waited on you.
