If Emily wants people to be kind to her, maybe she should learn a little about local customs and basic manners. If you come into a store, don’t bother to say “bonjour”, and start talking in English right away. People might not take it super well. It wouldn’t cross my mind, for instance, to go into an office or a bakery in the US, start speaking French and lecture people on how we do it back home, expecting them to engage.
