I've come across this in my dealings with my customers in Toronto. As an Englishman I find it most infuriating. French is after all, the most hated language in the world from an Englishmans perspective ;-}

This is common in Canada which has 2 official languages. The convention here
is to intersperse the secondary language with the primary language so a non
native English speaker can follow what is going on:

"Hi, no one can take your call right now / Bonjour, personne ne peuvent
prendre votre appel en ce moment / Please leave a message and I will return
your call as soon as possible / Veuillez laisser un message et je renverrai
votre appel aussitôt que possible"

3 might be a stretch though.
