as soon as i read about the roller skates the first thing i thought about was a&w root beer stands. if there is anyone else out there from the mid west you will relate real quick.
at these stands the cars would pull up to speakers and place their orders and a girl on skates would bring the food.
do we really want to look more like waitresses? (this is not a slight to waitresses as i worked as one for 5 years and made the same money i make now as a nurse)

Overworked nurses to use rollerskates
Overworked Italian nurses are to use rollerskates to get around the wards faster.
Doctor Domenico Pozza, head of the hospital at Lecco, northern Italy, came up with the idea to make up for a shortage of nurses.
The Il Nuovo website reports that nurses are apparently happy with the decision.
Dr Pozza said: "It will alleviate the consequences of chronic shortage of nursing staff.
"Wearing roller skates will allow nurses to respond more quickly to the patients' calls."
