They always seem to me rushing and give excellent service, not the hovering service we expect here which I sometimes find annoying. Now getting l'additon s'il vous plait can take a while!

I've also noticed that cafés tend to only employ mature adults instead of young people which is very different to here in Australia. It must be because they know how to give more professional service.
