In restaurants were the service degrades once you speak in English (this 
is not true in all restaurants - but it has occured).

In Reno-depot (the Quebec version of Home Depot), where an uncle of mine 
was sworn (actual f words in french) for demanding to be served in 
english. When speaking to the manager, he was told the clerk had every 
right to tell him off and did nothing about it. The parent company in 
Toronto was happy to inform us that Home Depot and Reno-Depot although 
associated are run as separate entities, and thus they would not do 
anything about this incident as well. In the meantime Reno-Depot lost 
money the last quarter.
