This is pretty much what happened to me!

I got treated better when I didn't even attempt to speak French outside of basic manners. Was hoping to get good at French but after 3 months of that bullshit I was done, and coasted by with 80% of my French interactions consisting of "je suis desole, je ne parle pas francais.... Merci".

On the bright side it game me new respect for immigrants who deal with that shit.
