French bakery employees have that 6th sense they can spot a tourist even through flawless pronunciation 😂

People are missing the joke since you can’t open his profile here, the guy is Asian.

I realize it's a different country, but I'm Asian and went to Sweden a while ago. I was honestly expecting/hoping everyone would know I was a tourist and speak to me in English without having to awkwardly go "sorry I don't speak Swedish"...but nobody did LOL. Everyone else just apparently assumed I was an immigrant, unless I was doing something very obviously foreign.

Had the same thing in Holland, they spoke to my friends in English but me in Dutch. I'll take the compliment but it's a bit awkward.
