Feeding people in Italy is important. I was never for want of money there, so I can't speak to that aspect of it, but I recall arriving in places that were close to closing, or otherwise not really set up to feed you a normal meal. I never went away hungry though, even if it was a sandwich and some apologies.
In Austria, on the other hand... we arrived at one place about 15 minutes before closing time, and the guy said sorry and kicked us out into an approaching rainstorm. No food, no bottle of beer, no nothing. Had several other similar experiences there.
- ChuckNorris89 6y agoYeah, the Austrian guy probably wasn't the owner of the establishment and didn't want the overtime work with keeping the place opened for longer than his contract? BTW, was that in Vienna? They're so famous for their rudeness it's a running meme now.
- davidw 6y agoIt was a small place on the "bench" southwest of Innsbruck, so I don't think that was the situation. He was more just like "we close at 6 sorry". In Italy, the guy most likely would have been "look, we're about to close, so I can't seat you, and our kitchen's shut down, but..." and he probably would have figured out a way to send us on our way with something.
