The differences in business cultures between the west and Poland [11]
When you're asking someone a question about the availability of a book in Polish, you don't expect someone to stand there chewing gum in your face with an expression that says 'I'm not interested' - you expect them to give you their full undivided attention. It's simply not professional to stand there going 'chomp chomp chomp'.
if i ask about something i just wanna simple and comprehensive answer. i dont care about expression on his face and gum in his mouth.
I don't expect much, just some professionalism - answer my questions and be visible
thats what i expect too.
Good morning, please and thank you is quite often missed here.
sometimes yeah, i say what i always say, pay, take, leave and dont think about the man. do exactly the same with people that remember about basic culture.
people that are honest and cheerful will always win my business
honest of course. cheerful - if thats in their nature, its fine with me. i smile back.
hmiserable fool who gets offended because you ask her for something that isn't normal according to their perceptions.
he or she can be miserable and fool if only i get what i came and pay for. if he or she is in the sulks and tries to ingnore or offence me i get angry and say what i feel necessary to say.
