I mean, I am French so maybe I'm biased, but isn't saying "hello", "goodbye", "thanks" etc. super normal?

[YehBikGyiGormint]

I work at a restaurant in Paris, thank you for making this video I wish I could show this all of my clients 😭😂

[astriddeslandes]

Oh... And we never ever say "sacrebleu". We have moved on from the 16th century.

[CatherineKlinkhammer]

Not only in France. I am french and i'm living in Germany. It's normal to say "Guten Tag", "Bitte/Danke" and "Auf Wiedersehen".
(Hello, Please/Thank you, Good Bye). 😊

French Canadian here on my first week in France I approached a security guard at a mall saying Hey then asked him a question about directions. He was offended that I didn't say bonjour first and never helped me I was like well it's true that the french are rude. I learned the hard way that you absolutely need to start a question with bonjour if you hope to get service.

But aren't all these commom sense?

[ludivinerey]

It's just normal for me but I'm french

[barbaralinares]

When they are out of France, they often leave their courtesy and politeness at home

[alaudavk]

And don't forget to say merci and pardon at least twice every phrase...

[floopajoopa]

so what is the proper response to them telling you Americans are garbage right after they politely ask where you're from?

[kwma]

...Umm I said Bonjour when I entered the stores initially and the staff started to speak to me in French real fast (when I obviously looked very very touristy/ and prob had horribly broken pronunciation). When it happened too many times, I just stopped doing so bc they probably wanted me to stop? Idk. Just said hello afterwards and had no trouble (p.s. people were always nice to me tho)

[Thingwithlegs]

BS. Paris is terrible and they have proper reasons, tourists are insufferable (I was a tourist but changed my way of travelling after being there)

[sokessler]

stop with your stupid clichés!!! france is not represented By People living in Paris or South France!! France is big !
