    I’ve only spent a couple months in France, but I agree from my experience. I think that foreigners that complain about the French being rude were just expecting special treatment, didn’t put in any effort themselves to be friendly, then shocked that the storekeeper/waiter wasn’t kissing their ass, even though they didn’t even manage to say ‘bonjour’.

      Who complains the most about the so-called french “attitude”?

      Brits and Yanks, the ones that think cleaners and waiters are beneath them and need to dance to earn tips

      Makes sense
