Everybody who worked there was Italian (so I thought), running the eye/skin/hair color gamut from blue/fair/blondish to brown/swarthy/dark. They all spoke italian. Then I learned that “Joe” (in the b/s/d category) was actually Puerto Rican & learned Italian so he could talk to his wife’s parents. You never would have known by looking. . . .
