I was in Paris once, will never go back. I had a rude waiter and we told him to take his food and stick it where the sun don’t shine. We left and went some place else.

I have been to Paris many times and only ever had one rude waiter. I persevered with him and he ended up giving me a liqueur at the end of the meal.

It is true that many, but not all, French are rude. The only example of their rudeness was in Paris when I was looking at post cards (this was before emails) on display rack on counter of Hotel reception desk. As I examined each card, and then replaced it on the rack, the clerk became noticeably agitated by fidgeting, harrumphing, and frowning. I was going to buy some cards but decided to ruin his day by leaving without buying.

No joke. I was in France once when I was in the military. Never again, thanks for steering me right, lousy French. The whole country can go suck an egg.

I wonder if this was the waiter?
