Hairdressers on Parade

One thing that I find odd about life in China, even after living here for almost 8 years is the way that some businesses literally drill their staff at the start of every working day. 

This hair salon for example. Throughout the winter, when I passed by on my way to work, I'd see the team marching on the spot inside the salon, always in sync, like a military platoon.

Today, with some nice spring like weather, they were all out in the sun in front of the salon. I'm not sure why employers do this, perhaps it improves teamwork and discipline, perhaps it serves as an advertisement for the company. Either way, I'm glad I had my camera with me.
