J'adore la Suisse

While here in Switzerland one can not help but notice the differences between Switzerland and the US. One of the things that stands out is the fact that here in Lausanne everything closes quite rather early and almost nothing is opened Sundays. Also, not to say that they completely disrespect customers, but there are times in which employees come across as rude. In the US throughout the week things are opened until quite rather late and everything is opened on Sundays. In those regards I do believe the US is better. It is not so much a matter of perceiving the Swiss as lazy, because they are not, but more of a matter of convenience and what I am used to. I am also used to the mentality that the customer is always right (and I know how annoying that can get from the employee's perspective), as opposed to here. In the US if an employee is rude to you there are steps that can be taken so as to go about that. Here if an employee is rude to you there is pretty much nothing you can do. A lot of it falls with the language barrier, where you can not even properly respond.
