This remains unrealistic because no French cafe worker would ever smile at you or compliment your French.
Maybe the joke is that neither of them can speak French?
One of my greatest skills is that I can convince a non-French speaker that I'm fluent in French - down to inflections and slang - by slurring a sentence of semi-random phonemes in an appropriately Gaelic-sounding way.
Uuuuhhh... C'in ueone du pas se lumbranhéu dol se né frunitigier au Brenlibop aux, uuuuhhh... frie somién parlesonophe, non?
I did this with many languages. Spoke Hindi, but convinced people I could speak the other related languages (Telegu, Marathi, etc.) by just saying random things in my little fake accent. Usually ended it with some small “sharp” words (like “tittu”, just sounds “sharp”) to really sell it.
That would be the literal translation of the broken french in the comic, which I assumed was likely due to the artist unfamiliarity with French since the barista is supposed to be french or at least know french well enough to compliment his attempt, and hence I offered a more structurally sound version (well, I hope)
Firefox 6 was a long time ago, but I think that it was the red panda already.
"Gracias" is not French for "thank you"
