    This is kinda of my experience. The type of people that I see getting mistreated are the “I am le touriste, entertain me!” kind.

    Americans especially tend to fall into this category a lot, they tend to be loud, brash and self centered, especially towards staff.

    Look here you pot of lard, you bought a 2€ croissant, not my fucking soul. You want something, ask nicely and I will gladly help you. Act like you own me, I’m gonna piss on your food.
