This surprises me because most countries I know, including my own, are rather strict on most positions requiring knowing the language, even seemingly small ones.
Because they know how important it is to speak to not only the majority of the customers, but also those within the establishment.
Individuals who can't typically can only get foreign language teacher jobs or very, very foreign companies with said country.

I didn't know America was that lenient with language requirements, especially with someone face to face like this.

Like, geez, if you need to communicate with them for some reason just download a translate app. That is what I do when I travel someplace where I don't know the language.

That's because you are the foreign customer in those cases, not the employee.
Try applying for a job in a foreign country that wants you to know the native language to some capacity (See: almost all of them outside of very, very smalls election of jobs), but be sure to tell them, "I can't speak it much at all, but I can use Google Translate."

Go ahead.
Watch what happens.

Spoiler alert: your application is going right in the garbage.
