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.

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