The Rules

Posts must be:

Links to news stories from...
...credible sources, with...
...their original headlines, that...
...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

A lot of that could very well be French attitude versus American attitude and the doctors offices going, "yeah, no, we're not accepting new patients." Accept 5 new French patients 2 minutes later. Especially given the American attitude given off in the quotes in the article are classic entitled behavior. "You mean you can't make a Martini if it isn't on the menu!??!!"

a lot of Americans really don't understand that people don't cater to the customer outside the US, you just get perceived as arrogant, doubly so in France and not speaking a lick of French.
