Life / INVISIBLE MAN in shops and offices in Poland? [70]

I'm English. I exploded in polish. And yup you are right everyone stared at me like i was a loony. I do try and stay as calm as possible generally but blatant ignorance makes me see red. Men are a lot easier to deal with in such situations because worst comes to comes to worst you can give them a slap. But since hitting women is not on my agenda, verbal aggression has to sufice. Had I asked her politely in the first place, she would have ignored me this I know from bitter experience. I have tried before the, " i'm sorry do you mind" ( in Polish) and received a blank look.

Don't get me wrong I'm not running around Poland shouting at people BUT I will not tolerate fools.

She asked no one, just steamed right passed all of us. Running my foot over in the process.
I hate rude ignorant people. Politeness, curtesy and an awareness of others is essential for a functioning society.

No not pregnant she had a fat little f8cker five year old and a baby in the buggy.

She walked past two queues of six people. Just plain arrogant and rude. Not acceptable.

This whole queue jumping thing drives me to distraction, I completely lost it the other week in McDonalds when this stupid bint pushed a buggy over my foot walked passed six people queueing and went to order. I exploded used some very strong language and told her to get to the back of the queue. Everyone went deathly quite and stared me or the floor.

It is a f8cking liberty and i shall not abide it.

UK, Ireland / How long would it take for an English style restaurant in Poland to go bust? [80]

From where I stand the Polish eat at home and like what they like.

Give that to them. The milk bars still do good business and they don't have to be doudy depressing affairs. The advantage of a milk bar are that you don't have to worry about an alcohol license and the hours are more 7 am until 7 pm rather than nighttime work.

English speaking staff might be a novelty value especially if you opened near a University.
Affordable food in a funky environment with some subtle music and interesting decor as well as a good range of teas and coffee.

Aside from preparing the food you or your most trusted partner should run the till. Pay the staff that you employ above the average, let them have staff meals and generally look after them. This will foster a positive team atmosphere which will reap rewards in service and productivity.

Wow it all sounds so easy.....
