Sorry I kind of assumed that the quality of the product is a given. When someone sells me a piece of crap that I don’t like I’m going to return it and get my money back. Possibly never shop there again. The store manager calls us at home once a month to just to make sure we’re satisfied with his store and shopping there.
Call me spoiled but I would not pay for a plastic bag and I wouldn't shop at a store where they don't pack my groceries for me with a smile.
Fcuk that: I want convenience and quality. Lucky I live and work where I do really.

Oh really? Is it an American version of The Ketchup Story?! (Hint: a plastic bag costs something like 5 gr = about 1.5 cent)

I would somewhat agree with you, it's better for the business. People tend to choose more convenient and cheaper places to shop at. Also having well trained and polite personnel on staff can make a huge difference especially in the retail business.
In Greece it is regarded as gypsy attitude if the shop does not give you bags for free to put your things in.Paying for the bags is considered outrageous it never happens.

They really don't and that was the point I was trying to make about the education. It's a free market out there, if you know something useful you can make lots of money and you don't have to work really hard.
Poles allow that they give up everything it seems like an agreement was made in terms ''if you want to approach our conditions of life you have to work first 30 years as our cleaners and builders.''

Well, I like to keep things organized. PF happens to be this place where I unload all my frustrations, for now that is. I do have an issue with lots of unspent rage and energy that needs to be constantly managed. So I go to gym, swim and run, get on PF and write some outraging stuff, (by your standards of course), get drunk and do crazy stuff and then it feels all good again. This process allows me to be nicer to people at work and others in my personal life that I care about. You know, I don't think I was made for a desk job. Anyway, personally I think you have far more issues than I do.
There is also this other thing.
People in Poland lead very sheltered lives and many of them have limited access to life enriching experiences. So, yes maybe I'm young but I have experienced far more in my short life than you did in your long and boring one, which maybe a blessing or a curse, depending on how you look at it.
This is yet another reason why I think people in PL are poor. An average person there rarely experiences anything exciting in their life.
I found this hilarious post and i would like to share it with you.

When you first meet Polish people in Poland, one of the first questions they always ask you is 'So, what do you think of Polish people?' or 'So, what do you think of Poland' I'm not saying they introduce themselves with these words, but I would bet money that it will come up within the first five minutes of conversation. It's almost like they're wondering if you would like to buy the place. I've known lots of British and American people who have lived in Poland for long or short periods and this always comes up. 'Why do they keep asking what we think of them?'
Here is one of the responses"

I read your post and it's really interesting. I'm a Polish, so I might have some insight about your thoughtful post. You're wondering why do we keep asking those questions and what's so different about us that is hard to grasp at the first time. It's really complicated and connected to our complex history, educational system, possibly also the "Polish soul" and nevertheless strong identification with our country.
Great post. Thank you."

You said that only 10 times now and you took my sentence out of context and now you keep repeating it. For the sake of the argument let's say I miscalculated the conversion of Km/h to mph. Why this is such a big deal to you? It's not extremely valuable skill to have or an important one. Can you get over it already?
Watching the vid and reading Havok thinking 140 km/h was 60 mph I can only draw one conclusion.

So I guess the best possible option for Polish people is to realize that everyone in the West is poor as well. Let’s do nothing and wait for more EU loans, donate our money and build more giant statues of Jesus while our universities and schools crumble…
Let’s argue with everyone who disagrees and then scream at the top of our lungs, we will bury you Havok, you fat mouth American!!!
Let’s post photos of our refrigerators on PF for everyone to see. As a matter of fact let’s organize a parade of refrigerators in town square to prove our point!
Ha! let’s ship all of those western traitors and plastic poles for voicing their opinion to Belarus to teach them a lesson. Our version of the truth is the correct one; never mind those millions of crazy westerners in GB looking at us and scratching their heads in disbelieve. See, they scratch themselves because they're in debt, all poor and have flees, that’s right.
Problem solved we’ve won!
hmm, why does this sounds so familiar? But but Poland is all different now, rich, prosperous and open minded. It’s the westerners who are stupid … Just leave us alone! We exactly know what we’re doing.. Shhhhh just wait 20 more years and you will see.

I'm not sure what's so difficult to understand. There are a lot of members of the faculty who never worked outside the academia environment. Which is fine if they teach Old English (as a practically useless subject) but I know of people teaching economics as pure abstract, because they never used their knowledge except for theoretical research, people teaching computer systems who never worked for an IT department outside the university; people teaching business ethics who never worked in a real business; people teaching how to be teachers (teaching methodology), who never worked in a real school except at a college level; or - my favorite - I know personally a dude teaching what was known as WOKAOJ at the University of Opole (Wiedza o Krajach Angielskiego Obszaru Jezykowego) who only knew those countries from books and a 2-week trip to London. How can you prepare graduates to go out there and get real jobs if you don't know what a real job means, and what it takes to get it - and keep it?
I suspect that's why Poles with university degrees work in kitchens and cleaning businesses in the UK.

Polish education is kind of useless. The Jagiellonian University the only Polish University fully accredited in most countries. Other Universities in PL are light years behind everyone else. Polish schools are poorly equipped and have no money for cutting edge research or any research lol as a matter of fact. Well, you don't have to take my word for it, feel free to Google World's best Universities and let me know if you find any Polish one.
You started your argument saying that 1.5K PLN goes longer way in PL then 1.5 EU in France. I'm telling you that cost of living in Paris is high so it's stupid to compare something like that. I suspect now that you just wanted to show off that you could go to Paris.
