A waiter in a Canadian restaurant is trying to sue his employer for dismissing him for "aggressive and bullying behaviour". His defence was that it ignored his cultural heritage, being French. A few years ago the mairie of Paris mounted a campaign with the capital's waiters, taxi drivers and other service workers to be more polite to visitors. We think we all have an idea that the French notion of service does not always chime with our Anglo Saxon ideas, but surely it's not a cultural thing?
