«Became familiar not to trust or not to tell the police and to think that we are not here to serve you, but again, we are very proud of the level of service that we provide to the citizens, and I never know when the police are seen as the source of danger,» said Ferraro.

«Such attitude of workers, ensuring public safety, could not be more sad,» wrote a trade Union. «Despite the fact that the Barista was polite, such a request was, in principle, offensive. Unfortunately, this attitude has become too common in 2019».
