Many other Italians use it liberally, especially when they
can't
decide whether "ciao" or "buon giorno" would be more
appropriate, or
when they want to avoid being too informal yet don't want to
feel
servile. (For instance employees to their boss.)

"Arrivederci" is likewise neutral in formality.


Barbara, how about "arrivederla"? Am I right that it's more
formal than "arrivederci" and used less frequently?
