Also, if French people take the month of August off, who is who is working at restaurants and stores? Do those people take a different month off?

In restaurants before service begins, the whole staff sit down to family meal or staff meal.

It is something different staff will take turns making staff meal. It is made using ingredients that may a mix of leftovers or new recipes not ready for the menu.

Waiters love winter and kitchen staff love summer so waiters work all summer through August and take February off, that is why the cooks take so long to get your food out in summer. They left the dishwasher in charge of the dinner service.
