To feel all the nuances of life in Italy, of course, you need to live there for a while. The woman, who kindly shared her impressions with our editorial staff, worked as a salesman in a small Italian supermarket for 3 years. In addition, she had experience in a similar position at home. All this suggests that she really has something to compare. So, in order.

  1. Salary Her Italian salary was 17-25 euros per day, which is much more than her salary at home. In the summer, many tourists came to their resort town, so there was more work and, accordingly, the amount of payment grew. As a result, the woman received 25 euros for 11 working hours, which in total turned into 700 euros per month.





  2. Re-accounting At the beginning of her work in the supermarket, she was surprised that They almost never re-record the goods.. This applies to both small shops and large supermarkets. Our entire trading process is built on the fact that in the end to pass the shift without shortages. Worst of all, sellers often had to do this at night.

    In Italy, the opposite is true. That’s because their labor code forbids working at night. This applies to those stores that decide to re-register (which is extremely rare). In this case, they close their doors to customers for a day, warning them beforehand.





  3. Lunch break This item most liked the woman. The fact is that in Italy, the lunch break in shops lasts on average from 13:30 to 16:30. Wouldn't that make you happy? During this period, all employees have time to go home, have a full lunch and even sleep.

    It's a wonderful Italian habit that would be so good for us. Perhaps a good rest and quality food is the key to the friendliness and openness of their nation?





  4. Closing time As mentioned above, night work is prohibited by Italians. For this reason, there are no round-the-clock shops. They often close between 20:00 and 21:00. And be sure that no one will work a minute more.





  5. Sunday weekend It was especially convenient for the narrator to work with a mandatory weekend on Sunday. This also applies to most businesses. Everyone has a legal holiday on Sunday.. Unfortunately, our sellers know firsthand that sometimes you can not see the weekend for weeks, or even longer.







Of course, if you want, you can find many other positive aspects of working in Italy, but there are probably disadvantages. Anyway, Learn more about life in another country is always interesting.. More travel and new experiences, dear reader!
