This is an exceptionally smiling face, though. Waiters are often rushed and do not always take the time to stop by and joke around with customers. That's too bad. They often have a wonderful sense of humor. The cliche of the snooty Parisian waiter is so enduring that even I, as a French person, immediately assumed this picture was taken in Southern France ;-) Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)French Girl in Seattlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14347995356689205203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8865814823931525026.post-64738652696347580982011-09-15T08:48:48.483-05:002011-09-15T08:48:48.483-05:00He has a very welcoming smile which I am sure tran...He has a very welcoming smile which I am sure translates into generous tips!Darylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08241795455748298624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8865814823931525026.post-51971936468516584632011-09-15T08:40:04.013-05:002011-09-15T08:40:04.013-05:00I agree with M, if you are polite and friendly, it...I agree with M, if you are polite and friendly, it is reciprocated, honestly I was expecting everyone in Paris to be rude and bad mannered (from what I was told before my first visit) but really didn't come across any snootiness at all.Excellent shot of non snooty waiter Virginia.PerthDailyPhotohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14077053209100022305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8865814823931525026.post-54324505918757001372011-09-15T06:56:33.387-05:002011-09-15T06:56:33.387-05:00Fun, friendly, French Francois!
