France isn't quebec. I have no problem talking with people in France if they and I are making good faith attempts to communicate, nor will anyone doing as you suggest. This is about a public servant intentionally refusing to speak a language they understand because of the institutional prejudice of the province.

Ironically, in most situations Quebeckers will refuse to speak French to you if there's any hint you're an anglophone.
