Quebec passes motion calling on store clerks to greet customers with ‘bonjour’.
Reading this reminded me of walking into a hotel restaurant in Montreal, carrying two newspapers. The hostess looked down, saw the Montreal Star just as I was flipping to the second paper, La Presse. She switched languages mid-greeting, and I mimiced her. “Good soir.” “Bon evening.”
By the way, I think the motion is silly.
