Nordstrom at Eaton Centre has a bar? Really?
Yup, and guess who was dealing directly with them to put together stock orders?
I've never seen such a ridiculous order form in my life. And then they sent another. And then a partial cancellation and then a rush order that included items from the cancellation. I mean products ran the gamut but it included all the crazy top end "designer" alcohol imaginable. It wasn't even a big order in terms of quantity but easily the biggest in terms of price. I've never seen someone purchase so much Louis XIII...
They're doing the same for the Yorkdale location, too.
edit -
Yea, London doesn't have fare collectors but they still have at least one person watching things, and they have people on the platforms too (maybe this is just to help tourists know which train is coming into the station?)
This is one of the things that impressed me about Tokyo. The subways were super efficient, had tons of automation, but also had a lot of visible employees. There were people conducting traffic, basically, on platforms during peak hours, helping crowds move in and out of trains and keep everything moving smoothly. And of course there were still customer service kiosks and such (incredibly helpful at this one location that had two separate entrances for opposite sides of the tracks and no way to cross over in the station itself, which caused my passmo card to malfunction when I attempted to leave and cross the street and go back in via the other entrance).
I loved everything about the subway in Tokyo.
(No comment on the TTC shenanigans today. I managed to avoid the worst of it and just don't have any more energy to expend hating on it.)
