Well it's not much data, only the one place and it's a large chain where the cashier probably wouldn't care or not. However, it was in English and my friend only speaks French, so if I wasn't there to tell him "no!" I don't know how it would have gone.
Look forward to you reporting back if you experience it on your next visit.
