Our first trip to calis and we have found everyone to be so pleasant and polite. Whilst walking the prom in the evening, the restaurants will ssk you to look at their menus as they are trying to earn a living. A polite no thank you is all that is needed. Or like us you can have a look, and go back at later date 
ABSOLUTELY. I'm still unnerved by my very recent encounter. Have to get it off my chest please. Sorry.
I got chatting to someone in the dentist's waiting room yesterday. She told me she'd just returned from her first trip to Calis. Needless to say I was delighted to hear all about her holiday. However, it quickly became a really uncomfortable conversation (and one the other 3 patients and reception staff were also listening to) as it became obvious that this woman had decided that the way to deal with 'them' as she charmingly referred to our Turkish restaurant friends, was to be downright rude and obnoxious.
I tried to enlighten her with some rudiments of general etiquette and encourage some tolerance, but it was obvious I was wasting both my breath and brain cells even trying. In the end I'm afraid I became quite angry and told her she was a rude racist and that she should stick to holidaying in the UK.
Her response was to look at me as though I was the imbecile. There was nowhere to escape to, so we both had to still sit there. You could have cut the atmosphere with a butter knife. I'm still angry. Ridiculous I know.
