"De"-service Charge

Recently I had my dinner in one of the nearby hawker centre. As usual I ordered a coconut by saying “kelapa satu” from the waiter. From his face, as if like I came from Mars. Quickly I realised that he is not an Indonesian, may be he is a Vietnamese or Burmese, so I instantly switched my language to english and cantonese by saying “Cononut” and “Ye Ji”. Unfortunately, his facial expression still look empty like a blank paper. I’ve finally gave up and placed the order with the shop owner.

If we pay fees for good service rendered, should we bill waiter for “de”-service charge for ordering food in multiple languages?
