A typical Seville shop reaches far along the street front, with many open doors, and a counter running the full length.

We live in a culture that's been hijacked by the management consultant ethos. We want everything boiled down to a Power Point slide. We want metrics and 'show me the numbers.'

It becomes fake, and I don't like it.

I think if you put people in front of some huge temptation where it's possible to grab as much as they can for themselves, almost everyone will. The beauty of commerce is that it mutes that.
