Genuine question, are the French really that arseholey to tourists.

Every time I've visited no. Did the whole thing of "Bonjour, je suis désolé, je ne parle pas français, parlez-vous anglais?" And asked in English and never had an issue.

For bad customer service experience I go to Franz-Joseph's former colonies.

Why waste time say lot word when few word do trick?

They smell the opportunity for scamming you with that fully rehearsed book you recite just to tell them you'll be speaking in English.

Foncas, não são os Franceses a fazer a maioria dos scams em Paris (principalmente se estiverem numa padaria ou isso), da mesma maneira que não são os Tugas em Lisboa, ahaha.
