Axolotl_cpp@feddit.it 3 weeks agoNow i wonder jow long you take to say bonjour
Normally, at about 10 feet away I try to make eye contact and smile/nod during approach, then I’ll verbally greet at about 5 feet away.
This was something I learned while working at a resort and it stuck with me. By American standards, this is considered fast and early.
you’re telling me the opening sequence of Beauty and the Beast is culturally accurate!?
If they’ve made eye contact, yes.
Yup, can confirm. Also, if it’s past 6 pm, make sure to switch to ‘bonsoir’.
If it’s someone I know, I just say ‘salut’. It’s way more casual, and can also be used as goodbye to boot.
Holy shit yes. You walk in to a store and you’ll hear someone say it from the back. They really like to say hi

I'm hoping they draw it for about 5 seconds like I do.
