Strega! I need your address. Please to send?
Sure -- email me, so I remember when I get home.
Where is the land of the great customer service? Somewhere in Europe, I'm thinking, on the continent.
Heh. Somewhere in Berlin, a friend of mine is in hysterics, and he doesnt know why. In the U.S., we are rich, selfish capitalists, and we expect excellent service. We are often disappointed in that, but... I suspect that in Europe, consumers would be impressed by the kind of service we'd grumble about here.
Or it could be that service jobs suck because customers suck, and therefore service is commensurate with customer behavior and with payscale.
Nah. I blame Amtrak.
A date of mine once told me a story about a friend's trip to Germany and said friend's Ugly American behavior toward a conductor while touring the country by rail. Suffice to say, the tale ended with the conductor shouting "The trains do not run to Auschwitz anymore!" in his face.
Forget about trains, I'd like to see the return of massive Zeppelins. The "balloon" could be covered with cells so they're solar powered, and they could quietly and majestically waft across the land and sea in luxury.

Can we all wear bias-cut satin and be photographed in black and white?
There are no jewel tones in black and white!
Yes, there are; they just photograph as black. (I think red photographs as black, doesn't it? Isn't that why Max Factor invented Pan-Cake? ) *I'd* know it was sapphire blue.
