Hermès Switzerland: Geneva vs. St. Moritz — Where Would You Try Your Luck?

I’m going to Switzerland in July and would love to hear about recent shopping experiences, especially in Geneva or St. Moritz.

For anyone who has shopped there, what was the overall boutique experience like? Were the SAs welcoming to tourists? I don't have a current SA relationship there. 

I’d love insight on:

Geneva vs. St. Moritz: which boutique felt more approachable?

Any success with non-quota bags as a walk-in or tourist?

Any success, or even possibility, with quota bags?

How does the wishlist / appointment process work in Switzerland?

Is St. Moritz worth trying because it is smaller and more seasonal (slow in the summer?) or is Geneva a better bet because it is larger?

I completely understand that Hermès is never guaranteed, and I’m not expecting to walk in and magically be offered a dream bag. I’m just curious what the realistic shopping experience looks like in Switzerland and whether either location is worth prioritizing.

Would love any stories, advice, strategy, or recent intel. Thank you!

Help: identifying random tiny holes in ceiling... pests? moisture? mold?

I’m hoping someone can help me figure out what might be causing these random tiny holes in my upstairs ceilings.

I haven’t been staying at my house much due to traveling for work, and when I came back today, I noticed several small holes on the top floor. There are probably +10 tiny holes in the bedroom ceiling, a few in the spare room, and one in another upstairs room. They’re small, maybe around 5 to 8 mm, but they look irregular and chipped rather than perfectly clean. There are some that aren't 100% through the surface too. 

Directly above the top-floor ceilings is my attic/crawl space, which is why I’m worried this could possibly be pest related. I recently had pest control out for wasps outside in the shed, so we did not inspect the attic/crawl space at that time.

I’ve already asked pest control to come back and inspect the attic/crawl space, but I’d still love opinions before I spiral.

Does this look like rodent activity, insects or wasps, moisture, drywall screw or nail pops, old anchor holes, or something else entirely?

Any advice on what to do next would be appreciated!
