May 29, 2006 at 4:12 PMWhen stationed in Germany while serving in the U.S Army – I found it quite frustrating doing business withe German Nationals at the time – There hours were so reduced than that of the United States it was hit and miss when arriving at a business you never knew if they would be open or not. Long lunch hours – closing two or three times a day – Acutally locking the door and leaving a retail store for a break.
But, if you are from there you knew the business hours of all the local shops and it was not a probelm. Just for the “Accidental Soilder” stationed near a small German town.
My wife was allowed to shorten her workday by foregoing lunch at her company and that enables her to beat the horrible Houston, Texas rush hour / traffic jams that we have here..
Great find…
