I don't even like ham, but you made this sound so delectable that I'll have to try one the next time I'm in Paris.

Would the bar man have actually te toi-ed you ? Tu veut ? Im curious. I feel as the French never use toi unless they really know you.

He did! Tutoiement is becoming more and more common, even right off the bat. I have mixed feelings about it. I tend to like the formal politesse that we lack in the States. I guess it doesn’t help that I have a boyish face.

Probably very generational too! Along with verlan, etc. I’m older so I can imagine people using vous with me more regularly. Good to hear there’s a shift at least in terms of rigid standards .
