This is nothing, these are countries where they sell beer at McDonald's.
I remember when I was working is Sweden at Swedens version of 411. One month we met our numbers so the managers brought in Several bottles of champagne and did we drink! A whole office full of drunk 411 operators. That was lots of fun!
