Omg the “you alright?” in the Uk - I went when I was 18 and asked my friend “why does everyone keep asking if I’m okay? Do I look sick?” 🫣😆

Exactly. I love how polite the french are but they shouldn't judge automatically as it might just be cultural differences.

Also, if you walk into a small shop, in the US the worker should say Hello/welcome to the customer. In France, the customer should say Bonjour first.

We also say "excuse me" in stores to ask for help, but it must be followed with "Hello". The point is that you presented it as being insane because

And in a business in the USA they know you want something lol. If you say “hello” you’ll probably get a “yes?” Back 😂

Ye... basically "Excuse me"≠"Excusez moi" like in French it's not really a sign of politeness but more a demand to be listened to...

Sarah Noel :
I’ve been blown away recently seeing French people in other countries making ZERO effort to say hello, please, thank you, in that country’s language.

in South Korea it is considered rude to hand money directly to the clerk/ customer. as it's the complete opposite here

Of course they don’t consider other cultures because they are IN France. They should absolutely consider when traveling though

In Japan, bowing would be the polite way. But the french don't usually do that. The Japanese will not be passive aggressive at them for not doing it.

That was a big problem I had in Paris. Of course I knew people said “Bonjour” but I didn’t realize anything else would be seen as disrespect 🥲

Latino people will say hello sarcastically back to make sure that you know you’re supposed to say hello first next time 😅

Imagine being so obsessed with being polite that you’re rude when a guest makes a mistake.

Also if you walk up to someone in US and say “hello” that could come off as rude implying they ignored you

The Aussie "how ya going?" still gives me pause. I'm going on foot? In a hat? Kinda reluctantly? What do they want to know? 🤭❤️

Right? I don’t know why ppl are so attached to this belief that others are innately inferior, rather than just different

I always thought that tone was the best indicator of whether someone is being rude or not.

Ms. Mod :
Question: when shopkeepers are talking amongst themselves, should I still interrupt them to say bonjour when walking into the store?

You just explained an interaction I had in 1993 that still bugs me on some level. NOW I UNDERSTAND.

Virginia Grace Mills :
I think in the US if you do say hi first and then excuse me it can be seen as rude because you didn’t ask for their attention before talking to them.

Je comprends, j'ai vécu en Asie pendant 6 ans et j'ai perdu l'habitude de le dire et on m'a dit que je suis devenu impoli. Alors je réapprend

Chitowneone :
The point is if a French said hi in the US to an American we wouldn’t get all mad and think they are rude cause Americans are not rude like the French

You’re right. In Canada, we also follow what our American cousins say to politely start a conversation.
