In general, people who run off for work in Italy will stop at a bar for coffee (espresso) and a pastry, to be finished quickly while standing at the bar.

I meant that the pep rally at the beginning of the day at the department store was very, very American. Cheering, chanting, prizes tossed out...

Everyday started with a pep-rally of sorts and all the managers and employees working the opening shift (maybe 75-100 employees or so) would gather before and it was really like a high school rally. All sorts of cheering and contests. It was downright ridiculous and pointless.hnoreply@blogger.com
