Yes, they will update at the same time for the new girl I think and maybe Aveline departure too…

3 updates at the same time to save the trainee’s time 😛

If "The Towel" finally leaves, I'm gonna open a cold one and watch her departure on repeat. It's gonna be a good day.

it is a shoe store in France very well known the brand BATA and when someone sticks to the other 

They say in France, not a step without Bata

We 🇨🇦 used to have Bata shoe stores a million years ago but I assumed it was a reference to something else. Understood now. 👍

Bata was more than that...Batawa the town in eastern ON was founded around the Bata shoe HQ moved from Europe.

Conditions in Europe before World War II led Thomas J. Bata to search for a location in Canada to transfer operations. Batawa's location was chosen for its proximity to a lake, a railway, a highway, an airport, and cheap land. A factory town was built and opened in 1939. The Bata company owned the town, providing accommodations at a reasonable rate to its workers. The company controlled virtually all aspects of the village. There was a Bata grocery store, Bata recreation hall, Bata clubs, Bata teams, and a Bata shoe store. Many of the residents were immigrants from Bata's homeland, Czechoslovakia, who immigrated at the time of the factory's construction.[1] One prominent group of Bata's European refugees to resettle in Canada were the employees of the Bata Shoe Company from Zlín, Moravia, in 1939. Tomáš J. Baťa and 82 workers re-assembled the business in Batawa. The company would go on to produce military equipment for the Allied War effort.[2]

Thx. As a kid all our shoes were bought at shoe stores. Usually leather shoes for school and church. The guy would sit on his weird stool  and measure your foot with that funky contraption, it was an event. LOL

Ça fait combien de temps que tu n’es pas venu en France? 😛
Franchement ce n’est pas une expression mais un slogan publicitaire… 🫤
