I have been to French restaurants, and let me tell you, the rudeness of the staff there comes free.

The only exception was the little place in Normandy when I had 6 francs and a ticket home. They treated me like I was a king!

Good for this cafe owner. One of the joys of being self employed is that there is rarely a compelling reason to continue engaging with a customer who insists on being a jerk.

The customer is always... what?

I can tell you after many years in customer service that that is B.S. With me the customer was always... until they went over the line and then they were someone elses problem. My prime rule was that my employees were never rude to a customer, I always told them when a customer crosses the line I will deal with them, I required the same courtesy for my people from the customer as I required my people to give the customer. That’s the major reason I left customer service, too many A holes in the world.

I have been to France 13 times on vacation, and found the French very gracious. Trying to use their language helps. One of the prettiest countries around.

Seriously, I’ve been in France, lately this year, and the rudeness in restaurants is endemic. However, the people in the cities are lovely. I had one couple so concerned about my getting lost while I rode the bus to a destination, they came with me.

The French are lovely people.
