Teaching customer service in schools!

Once someone becomes a natural, fluent, fluid and interpretive customer service-oriented person – empathy, folks – they are likely to design, build, create or make thoroughly easy-to-use and delightful things and services.

Always towards a better world.

It made no claim to have imitated (that badly!?) the average Italian cafe in Italy.
