A pair of digital illustrations showing the contrast in service when paying a bill at a restaurant. The left side, titled „PRACTICE IN BULGARIA,“ shows an impatient waiter in traditional costume in a tavern, holding out a POS terminal to a pair of customers as soon as the bill is requested. The waiter says „ORDER“ 😟, and the customers look flustered. The right side, titled „STANDARD IN EUROPE,“ shows the same pair in an elegant restaurant with a mountain view. A polite waiter in classic attire walks away, leaving the bill in a leather folder on the table and saying „Take your time.“ as the customers calmly check the bill.
