Key sentences are: "Bonjour madame, voudriez-vous me donner" .......... continue with what you exactly require.
Just an example. Learn the most common expressions.
Sorry but you can say "au revoir" and be back in a couple of hour
if you say "adieu" you're not supposed to come back soon
BUT in some places in southwest France you can say "adieu" in stead of "bonjour" !!!!
