- Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
- You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.

This is silly. We always order politely in bakeries. At least one of bonjour or svp is mandatory, along with a smile.
If you just say "deux croissants" with a perfect french accent (makes it clear you're not a random tourist trying their best), you'd get a bad glare in return, and not unlikely to have the people around you in line asking you if you were raised by troglodytes in a cave.
The French are very keen on following proper etiquette, I have no clue what the parent comment is about lol.
I love that that's shortened to svp! Not sure why but it tickles me.
Svp is far too long to say, siouplé is more likely.
