Many Indonesian shops still have the same system

A bit like Google and their top two entries (in "champagne")

Not just bars....

Motorway service areas, among other places. Queue for your ticket, queue to pay, then queue for your food.

The amusing thing (or not) in Italian bars is that if you attempt to order from the bar the barista will sigh, tap a notice indicating that you need to queue and buy a ticket first and refuse to serve. When you go to the cash desk, the barista will shuffle over, take the money and issue the scontrino. Then you go back to the bar. The barista will now take some inordinate amount of time before condescending (and it really will be condescending) to shuffle over and supply what you ordered.

In general it's best to go sit at a table and wait to be served. It takes just as long but at least you're sitting down.

Nah - our eight year old knows most of their stuff well enough to sing along.

Nah, you have to get them organised

When I lived in Italy, I would just sit down and two minutes later, my beer would arrive, I never had to say a word

You are Mussolini and I claim my five Lire.

Have you got change? The smallest I have is this five hundred Lire piece.

Nah. The OP said the gasman came on Thursday :)

Mmm, might be a fake - come over to this lamp post so I can get a better look...

This one on the corner?

Now, let's wipe a cloth over the window and see what we can see.

Does it matter, even a fake L500 would be worth more
