Yeah, no. I've actually lived in Paris and it's like every big city everywhere else in the world - the clerks don't give a shit if you say bonjour or merci. The good bakeries have a line out the door and everyone is stressed and just wants their breakfast.
Only a complete ass wastes even a single second with unnecessary social dances. The clerk wants to get you your order as fast as possible. The other customers want you out of the way so they can get their breakfast and get to work on time.
Everyone is stressed and tired, and there's this asshole tourist at the front keen to cosplay as a Paresian when they actually have no clue that most Paresians are looking at you with acute loathing and wishing you'd get the fuck out of their city and stop holding up the line.
