I have a funny story...I went into a cafe the first time I was in Paris,
in 1995 (well, maybe second time; I was two months away from being born
there!). I asked what is a croque monsieur, and the man there told me to
leave...then I went to another place, where they were nice and told me
what it is, and I had three, and afterwards I had a big argument with the
waiter, I left him 10 francs for pourboire and he yells at me, you forgot
your money, and I said, no that's for you, he said, but you already paid,
I said, yes I know, that's a pourboire, and he didn't seem to understand,
he kept trying to give it back, until I decided, enough of this and left
the cafe and the money there...
