This one, conveniently situated just a few minutes up the road from the apartment here - it was faster to walk there than wait for the bus. The suburb I'm in is called Vanier, which is a very French part of town; there are a lot of people who use French as their first, if not their only, language.
Which meant that more than once, I was met with polite incomprehension when I launched into my spiel. I have discovered, though, that I speak good enough French that I can discuss the store card with someone, and explain the benefits; though apparently not well enough to convince a francophone to actually sign up for it.
I'm back there on Saturday and Sunday, so I can try again then; I should probably learn some vocab in the meantime....
