皆さん、ボンジョウ、レゴーレ、ヨウコソ。 Today, before going on a tripto France,
there is a rule that you absolutely must remember.
That rule is the greeting when you enter a shop.
In Japan, when you enter a convenience store, asupermarket, or a shop,
you don't need to say anything.
店員さんがいらっしゃいませと言ってお客さんがえしゃくするぐらいだと思います。
でも、フランスで同じことすると大変なことになります。
店員さんが冷たくなるし、それとも無視されることもあるんですよ。
なぜか知ってますか?
C'est parce que l'idée sur les clients en Franceet au Japon est complètement différente.
In Japan, there is a saying that says that aclient is a god,
but in France, there is no such way of thinking.
In France, a clerk and a customer are equal, inother words, people of the same position.
For French people, entering a shop is the same asentering someone's house.
When you enter a friend's house, there is no onewho enters without saying anything.
In French, you always say Konnichiwa.
So, when you enter a French shop without sayinganything, the clerk thinks like this.
But you don't have to be afraid.
The solution is very simple.
When you open the door of the shop, first look atthe clerk's eyes and say Bonjour.
That's all.
With just this Bonjour, the clerk's attitudedramatically changes.
He responds with a smile or is kind to you.
Bonjour is not just a greeting, it is a magicalword to receive good service.
Greetings are important.
If you are going to France in the future, be braveand say Bonjour loudly.
That's all.
With just this, I think that travelling willbecome more fun.
