It’s a local initiative, backed by local people, that aims to boost the local economy, so it is apt that it’s been given a name with such local meaning: Farinet. Its banknotes are worth the same as Swiss francs – the country’s official currency – but can only be spent in participating businesses in the Valais, which so far includes more than 150 restaurants, artisans, farm shops and wineries. Like the UK’s Bristol pound and the the Franco-Spanish Basque region's Eusko, it’s a complementary rather than replacement currency. In May 2017, a group of Valais residents launched a new regional currency. And so it’s perhaps no surprise that they are now embracing a home-grown way to buy them. The people in the Swiss canton of Valais are rightly proud of their home-grown products. Terraced vineyards carpeted the slopes, while fruit trees covered the valley floor: apple, pear and especially apricot, from which the area makes its famous schnapps, Abricotine. They just let their staff get on with their crusade to alienate all the customers unchecked.As my train travelled through the mountainous Rhône Valley in southern Switzerland, it was plain to see what this region is known for. Where were the management in this whole debacle? Nowhere to be seen. He was also running around the restaurant, crashing into customers and fellow staff alike. All around us customers were being verbally abused ("stop crying and wait" being the pick of the bunch) and having their orders messed up. We weren't being singled out for special treatment. When challenged on this he just said that he had brought everything we ordered and ran off. Then the food came, minus one of the group's order. Taking our order he continued to be rude, arguing with people about what they wanted and picking holes in their attempts to ask in French.
Ok we thought, we have caught him at a bad moment, maybe now he has snapped to the point of assaulting a customer he'll get a grip of himself and calm down. One of my friends tried to help him set the chairs out which led to the waiter swinging at him with a plastic chair.

There weren't any free tables so the waiter set another one up. The waiter serving our table was both rude beyond belief and totally incompetent. Then went back on a sunny day and what a transformation. I went to this restaurant on a snowy day and had a really good experience.
