Some people get an extra paycheck for Christmas, others don't get any Christmas bonus at all, but employees of Bertch Cabinets got one of the best Christmas bonuses that we've ever heard of. Around 800 employees from Bertch Cabinet boarded the Carnival Victory cruise ship at the Port of Miami on Monday. The cabinet manufacturer based in Waterloo, Iowa decided to reward its workers with a company-paid trip around the Caribbean after the company recovered from the recession. The employees of the cabinet making company were first treated to one night in a five-star hotel in Miami, before being whisked away to the dazzling waters of the Caribbean for five days aboard the Destiny-class cruise ship. The sun-kissed sojourn will include stops on Key West in Florida and the Mexican island of Cozumel. Gary Bertch, the company's co-founder, offered his employees the trip after reportedly challenging them to meet certain goals last year. Prior to 2005, the company had offered its workers cruise trips every year from 1989 onwards, but were forced to stop the programme due the economic downturn.
Hot dogs were invented because they are cheap, easy to make, quick, and delicious. Well, one hot dog in Swizterland is quick, easy to make, and delicious, but most definitely not cheap. Visitors to Zurich's Christmas market, could try a taste of the luxurious version of the Danish Heissihond hot dog, which costs 250 Swiss Francs, or just under $250 per hot dog. What makes this sausage special? Well, it's made from Japanese Kobe beef and paired with Cristal-Roederer sauce and white Alba truffles The owners say they sell about 30 of the special dogs per year, but for those not willing to splash out so much cash on a hot dog, a mini-version called the 'Scheisserchen' is also on offer and costs only about 6 bucks.
