Here is one interesting fact about the Eliseevs Merchants' Shop in Saint Petersburg. The elder son of Pyotr Kasatkin-Eliseev introduced an unusual tradition for shop assistants of eating fruits every evening in his shop. The merchant believed, all the products sold in the shop had to be the freshest, that's why all 'suspicious' fruits that did not look fresh enough could not be offered to customers. It was forbidden to sell such products, however, shop assistants were not permitted to throw them away. Thus, once the shop was closed, its personnel would gather inside and eat oranges, peaches, bananas, papayas and other fruits together. How would you like such a corporate tradition?
