Pit Stop Greeters

(1/11) > >>

G.B.:
I've been thinking of adding information about Pit Stop greeters to our Wiki, because we barely mention them at all currently. I would need help to make it any good, though, otherwise I'd be writing things like "A Vietnamese man" and nothing else.

So, one part of this thread will be for anyone who wants to help list or describe Pit Stop greeters. Are they wearing a specific type of clothing? Are they part of a profession? If they say something in a foreign language, what do they say? I'm not going to be working on this right away, but it would be good to get a start.

Or, if you want, feel free to also use this thread to just discuss Pit Stop greeters. Who are your favourites? What kind of greeter would you like to see that we haven't? Any ideas of how to incorporate greeters into the finale task?
