"I faked my best Canadian accent, and said, "Thank you very much."
You mean you replied:
"Thank you very much, 'ey."

No, that would have been 'eh?' but I just clipped the words, said 'em fast and hoped what remained of my Texas accent didn't slip through.
You mean you replied: "Thank you very much, 'ey."
Which reminds me of an exchange I had with my non-Canadian-speaking wife when we got back in our car after crossing the Washington State - British Columbia border and asking for directions at the B.C. Visitor Center.
"So, we need to find Route 1 on the map."
"No, we need to find Route 1-A."
"No, Route 1."
"No, Route 1-A."
"She did not say Route 1-A. She said Route 1."
"No, she said, 'Take Route 1-A'. I distinctly remember her saying that."
"No, she did not say, 'Take Route 1-A'. She said 'Take Route 1, eh''.
"That's what I said she said and you just said it twice!"
