When speaking to a stranger or a salesperson you haven’t spoken to yet, use « vous » instead of « tu ».

Cultural Tip
In French‑speaking countries, it’s polite to start with « Excusez‑moi » or « Pardon » before the request, especially with a salesperson. The informal « tu » is fine with shop assistants you’ve already spoken to, but you can switch to « vous » for a more formal tone. Also, French retailers often use the European sizing system (EU), so you may need to clarify the numeric size (e.g., 38, 40) if the staff seems confused.
