SEOUL, South Korea — Last week, my fellow intern and I attempted to treat our colleague to a nice meal—instead, he paid for our steak lunches.. It was a comical situation; in our effort to thank this man for setting up our internships, we ended up setting him back nearly $100. Not only that, we inadvertently slighted him by attempting to treat him in the first place. In Korean business culture, when an intern pays for a senior, more established employee’s meal, it becomes a loss of face for the latter...

Mais non!, conservative backers retort. Theirs is a pragmatic, optional reform for a finite set of businesses interested in embracing it, they promise - not at all a mercantile free-for-all à l'américaine in which any shop or company owner can treat Sunday like any other day of the week. "This is only putting a bit of order in a confused situation, and is in no manner a change to [our] model of civilization," the bill's sponsor, Labor Minister Xavier Darcos, promised senators going into their vote in the wee hours of July...
