French and Team work:
"The education system fosters … rivalry and
competition from an early age {…} a sense of
team working is not encouraged {…} People
prefer to have definable, personal sets of
objectives rather than to work in more general
team roles.”

French and Customer Service:
“Customer service is poor in the eyes of all
those Anglo-Saxons who believe that the
customer is king: Not in France. The French
{…} expect respect for what they do, after
which they are very much willing to serve you
well.”
