It still happens fairly regularly that some will try to speak to me in French, especially in Florida or NYC. If I am there long enough, it almost always happens at least once.
Yes, some of them are sometimes hard to understand, as I assume they are trying to "bridge" between their native language and more standard French.
Though I may be hard to understand for them too!
