So today while not studying I came across an interesting article which lists the ten things which the author felt China does better than Canada. For those who are about to stop reading, I would say that the list pertains to the U.S. just as much, if not more. The saddest part though, is that some of the items on that list are really basic items. As an example:
7. Wireless service bells
Trying to flag down your waiter for a glass of water? Just press a made-in-China gizmo at your table. Your table number lights up on a panel inside the kitchen and your server is soon hovering by your side. The bell also eliminates that annoying waiterly interruption: “Is everything all right?”
Oh why oh why have I not seen one restaurant in the good ‘ol U.S. that has this feature? There is nothing more annoying than needing something from your wait-staff (see, that is me being politically correct, I think) and being unable to find them. So what do you end up doing? Nothing. You sit there and get a nice dose of rubber-neck syndrome. Constantly looking to and fro hoping, just hoping, to catch the wait-staffs eye so you can get a refill on your $3.99 strawberry lemonade. Grr.
Oh, and I personally would be a big fan of #10 also. But I can see how that would only benefit a very niche group of consumers.
