Have a nice day

What's this? The French wanting to become more like the Americans?

The owners of France's 60,000 bars, brasseries and cafes have said poor service is driving customers away, and have promised to do better.

"Customers are right to complain of a poor or non-existent welcome... and a lack of basic courtesy and reactivity," an industry spokesman said.

I have to say that the one and only time I found myself in Paris (working undercover you understand) I couldn't experience this aspect of the cafe culture because everything seemed to be closed. It was a Sunday afternoon you see. Mind you, that was a long time ago now and maybe that's changed too.
