France: Too polite
A French lady frequently visited a small antique shop but rarely purchased anything. Furthermore, she always found fault with the merchandise and prices. The manager and her salesclerk took the lady's grumpy complaints in their stride, but one day she really went too far.
“Why is it I never manage to get what I ask for in your shop?” demanded the lady.
A smile on her face, the clerk calmly replied, “Perhaps it's because we're too polite.”
法国:太有礼貌
有位法国女士经常光顾一家小古董店,但几乎从不买什么东西。而且,她总是对商品和价格吹毛求疵。对于那位女士的粗暴埋怨,经理和她的销售员总是轻易应付一下就了事,但是有一天她未免做得太过分了。
“为什么在你们店里我从来都没找到过我想要的东西?”那名女士指责说。
女店员脸上带着微笑,沉着地回答道:“也许是因为我们太有礼貌了。”
