Worst shame I felt in my life was trying to check into a hotel in QC, QC in French and the rely being "ID and credit card please." 😭

(But for Montreal when they say Bonjour/Hi they are trying to ask what language you want to be spoken to so it's totally okay to say hi if you are Anglo don't make it more confusing by replying bonjour lol)

Same with federal officials, like at customs, where they typically start with “hello, bonjour”. Reply “bonjour”, and you may quickly reveal yourself to be a francophony.

The bonjour/hi is mostly used where there are higher percentages of english speaking people, so mainly downtown and in the west island.

In neighbourhoods like Villeray or Plateau people will assume you speak french but will switch to english if they see you struggling with it.
