Etiquette in a Store and Market Queues in Poland [146]
Since my last post from 18 June I have tried to observe people in queues whenever I/we went shopping, usually twice a week in big shopping centres.

It is amazing but I haven`t really seen the things which have been discussed in this thread. I haven`t noticed any problems, whatsoever. People are cultural and heedful enough for me.
That is why such stories by some posters sound like a legend about iron wolf.
In Poland there are no apologies,
Bullshyt.
don't try to apologise for bumping someone else - they just look at you like you're crazy!
Another bulshyt.
Same goes for being polite to strangers - this is also classed as 'crazy' here, especially if the politeness is directed towards check-out staff when shopping.
BS.
but God forbid you should turn to your trolley/cart to pick up your next item to weigh as someone will elbow you out of the way to use the scales - yes, no exaggeration.
Of course, no exaggeration, just another piece of crap.
Why are you lying so much, that is really intriguing.
They will push small children in quite a rough manner.
Funny that I have three kids and have never had problem with taking them to crowded places.
I don't like going out in public here.
That is your main problem, I think. You suffer from some fears and obsessions, it seems you are scared of life in general, especially when you have to be among people . Why don`t you see a councellor???
Especially that your neurotic attitude seems to have passed onto your kid
My son has been in tears on many occasions for such things.
I look around and wonder, does anyone else think this is crazy stuff or just me.
I am afraid it is you who should deal with your problem.
Good that you can have a laugh about it, certainly helps!
Yes, it does. That is why, always have a good laugh before, during and after doing shopping in Poland. And don`t worry that people will consider you crazy..... :):)P
