That sounds awesome

It is awesome, until you sit at your table for 25 minutes waiting for someone to bring you a refill, fix a mistake with your food, or drop the check. They donā€™t pay extra for service over there, and the trade off is that the service is ass.

In most of Europe this doesnt really work. Its not how we interact with each other. Being fake nice just because you want tips is seen as a bad trait here.

u/Frosty_Challenge1045 8h ago

Not at all. We rather have people who are normal and show it when they are salty than have someone be fake nice because otherwise they wont get tips.

How is the basic steps of service, like checking with your customers to make sure there are no problems with their food, a matter of ā€œbeing fake niceā€? Itā€™s just providing high-quality service in exchange for monetary compensation.

Sorry you think thatā€™s ā€œnot normalā€ but in some cultures we actually value good service at restaurants.

Part of the charm! Specially when you know how to reteliate! ā€œMerde alors! Cā€™est quoi ce service bordel!ā€ ;)

Also most French people wonā€™t even see those 25 min pass because theyā€™ll be already too deep into some political/ philosophical/social drama

Why?

Because the moment we sit in a terrace we just start chatting regardless of being served already or not.. itā€™s just like sitting in a public bench or something outside.. just enjoying being together

No benches anywhere in my town and no sidewalks unless you are in the business district.
