Flexible Work
and Business
Hours Expected
During World Cup
As of this
Friday many
businesses in
Costa Rica,
including large
companies like
McFlorida Ice &
Farm (Cerverceria
de Costa Rica),
Grupo Nación,
Procter &
Gamble, EPA,
Intel,
McDonalds, etc,
will be allowing
their employees
to enjoy, at
least a number
if not all, the
games of the
World Cup.
That means that
customer service
and staff
attention may
suffer at times,
as well work
hours and
schedules may be
modified. In
some cases hours
of business may
be altered,
while others
will allow their
staff to watch
the games during
work hours.
World Cup fever
is on and even
though Costa
Rica is not in
the games this
time around,
people remember
the euphoria of
the last World
Cup, even though
Costa Rica was
eliminated in
the first round
of play.
Cashing in on
the World Cup
fever are
retailers,
offering all
types and sizes
of television
sets at World
Cup prices, some
with extremely
flexible
financing.
As to government
employees,
vice-president,
Alfio Piva, said
on Monday that
no firm decision
has been made as
yet and will be
suject of this
discussion
during this
week's cabinet
session.
