I think it's our consumer culture - make the customer happy and your business will prosper, and everyone is a potential customer, so it's best to be polite to everyone. Wink

I agree, I wish France was more consumer oriented. You'll never hear a store clerk tell you to have a good day here.

It's rare for a store clerk NOT to here.

As a completely random aside, I find it funny how the stereotypes for Canada and France are complete opposites.  Their problem is being too snooty and arrogant.  Our problem is being way too polite and humble for our own good. Smiley

Not that I'm complaining.

Quebecois have the same French stereotype though.  I think we should call them Quebeckers though.
