that chip on my shoulder regarding the language debate here, and I have been relenting lately; when a customer responds to me in french, rather than respond back in english I have been finishing the transaction in french.
If they can respond to me when I speak to them in english, evidently they understand, but merely choose not to ‘debase’ themselves by speaking english, regardless of the fact that we are on ‘this side of the river’. And that goes both ways….so, I’ve decided not to be such an arse about it. I have nothing to lose by using the french I have, which is a fair bit, seeing as I grew up in a french community, with french neighbours and family. What the hell…
