Hi! I saw this and thought it was funny. But seriously, could you tell they were a foreigner in this situation, assuming their accent was as perfect as they said?
Hello dear,
If the accent is perfect, it would never be the politeness (you would actually get strangled by the baker and every single customer if you just said "je vais prendre deux croissants").
Was it the sweatpants?
Or pyjamas, slippers, bleached or super messy hair, heavy makeup, pimple patches, sunglasses inside, extravagant or chipped nails, or even the silhouette. The average French woman is brown-haired, about 5'5, of average weight, low maintenance, neat; grandma-approved "less is more, but if you do it, do it well" style.
The presence is also telling. Your posture, tone (we French say that Americans will be heard before they are seen), spatial awareness, the amount of perfume you wear, the brands you buy and how gaudy they might be, your huge case making a ruckus, small talk, etc. We avoid drawing attention and familiarity.
Finally, there is the cultural language. Knowing to say hello when you enter the bakery, smile if you make eye contact, say "excusez-moi" or "pardon" when bumping into someone instead of "dรฉsolรฉ-e", being aware of the cursed tu/vous etiquette, etc.
PS - When someone switches, as discouraging as it seems, it is not against you. Especially with a worker or a passerby, they are trying not to get caught in a dialogue of the deaf with someone who might be missing the level for a conversation with a native speaker, and they have places to be. To practice, try a park!
Hope this helps! x

I enjoy a good 'ol Billy joins the Batfamily fic as much as the next guy, but the "bat-son" joke is a bit odd to me. I get what it means, but the characters are talking, and I always thought is was pronounced "Bats-uhn", and the 'ts' sound is basically one thing, right? I dunno, this is just something I noticed
Okay so I've seen this pop up a few times with people trying to pronounce Hebrew words the "correct" way, and seeing any time a Hebrew word is translated with a "h" sound, assuming that means it's transliterated incorrectly and that the "correct" pronunciation is with a "ch" sound. This isn't true. Here's some examples I've seen and how they are and aren't pronounced:
"Minhag" transliterates the word ืื ืื, and is correctly pronounced as "Min-hag", not "Min-chag".
"Halacha" transliterates the word ืืืื, and is correctly pronounced as "Ha-la-cha", not "Cha-la-cha".
"Hagbaha" transliterates the word ืืืืื, and is correctly pronounced as "Hag-ba-ha", not "Chag-ba-cha" or "Chag-ba-ha" or "Hag-bah-cha"
I know that Hebrew words are often mis-transliterated, but sometimes a "h" really does denote the correct sound. Look at the actual Hebrew spelling of a word if you're confused- a ื or ื are pronounced with a "ch" sound, but a ื is actually correctly pronounced with a "h" sound.
*"Ch" as in "challah".
