Travel / 7 days in Poland... need some advice... [20]

Why don't anyone suggest me to go to Warsaw? Warsaw is the capital city of Poland right?

Yes it is. Warsaw attract people/scum from whole coutry because of higher salaries so it is crowded city with horrendous traffic jams. Hated by many Poles.

Life / Car stereo thieves - is this a problem in Poland? [23]

there was a saying which roughly translated was

It is rumoured that all Polish thieves relocate to UK ;)

I haven't seen any glass pieces for a long time. In my area luxury cars staying overnight on the street. Loud music coming from car isn't rarity. Rather car thieves dismantling cars for mechanical or body spare parts is a problem.

Love / Polish Male Reputations.... [29]

I thought it was just a silly sterotype, but as I only know one Polish man

Kind Polish men sit on their back in Poland, playing with kids, watering grass and the last thing they going to is wandering EU so you should polish your Polish and visit Poland to find out ;)

UK, Ireland / Exploiting Polish Workers by the UK businesses [90]

Nope, I am saying they are inferior eastern europeans. Bringing in people from inferior countries and cultures degrades this country.

This guy with scythe considers they are equal ;)

Life / Are Polish people absolutely obsessed with money? [30]

however my experience of the Polish is that they do have £ $ and Euro signs instead of eye pupils :)

I believe when(ever) we reach some level of wealth we start doing the same things as other nations. Traveling, sightseeing, developing hobby etc.

Are Polish people absolutely obsessed with money?

Yes I am but not at all ;). I'm working from 7oo to 18oo only. A lot of my friends work from morning until night 22oo-23oo. In UK I didn't take overtime because of better hourly rate.

But it is true, most Poles do not seem to think there is anything wrong with asking

Yes. They like to ask but don't like answer too ;)

Life / Leroy Merlins Price Protection [41]

Most large chain stores have the policy clearly stated at the customer service desk, or on the receipt. If you find a lower price in their shop or a competitors within 30 days, they will refund you the difference.

Why not 7 days or 19 days or 26 days. 30 days is fair but 19 you feel treated like crap?
You are lucky guy have lucky day. Sun is shining. You are going to Leroy Merlin and see wow! promocja air conditioner for only 679zl. Please pack me this one. Just like a lottery :)

Life / Leroy Merlins Price Protection [41]

I went to the customer service counter and asked to get the difference in price refunded because it is now cheaper than the price i paid.

Why did you expect they should refund any money?

What about if a car price in 29 December is e.g. 67000zł and in 2 January (as one year older) 59000zł

"A nice complement to price matching is another service option offered by many companies, called price protection. This is in some ways like a company "price matching itself". :^) More specifically, the companies that do this offer to refund a portion of your purchase price, if the product you bought drops in price within a certain time frame after you buy it. A typical period of time is 30 days"

unbelievable
