You are misunderstanding. That was Joey trying to speak French. As long as you try and speak the language the Frogs give you a wide berth, no?
When I tried to speak French to the French in pubs etc, they just mostly ignored me & if I politely spoke english, they ignored me, even two extremely fit girls I was with tried being charming & got ignored, so nothing worked until they felt you had suffered enough.
I noted an American gentleman shouting at them loudly in English got served immediately, so I tried shouting loudly at them in English & got served immediately.
Perhaps Joey has discovered the polite secret: that they prefer a comedy, Clouseau style, accent.
