Life / Getting ripped off in Poland! Is it normal? or should it be tolerated? [97]
Ive been here 6yrs, AND BEEN CONSISTENTLY RIPPED OFF here when they realise Im not Polish,
200/300/400% consistently, It saddens me that "average" mentality here is too try and pull a fast one, make a quick buck at the cost of the "idiot tourist".
I would like ANYONE here to show / tell of an example of a Polish person being charged twice or even more for what they buy in ANY other country , just because they're Polish......but I and many otheres here get it in the arse here because Im British ! ..........respect has to be earned in business, and Poland aint doing a good job at the moment!
FFS look at the prices of property in Krakow for example, definately NOT PRICED for Polish people/residents .....and If anyone wants too take up this debate please feel free.
Ooh and incidentally how can you price ANYTHING in a FOREIGN CURRENCY..i dont go to the states,and get charged Swiss francs cos its a stronger currency??????..(laughable really cos of the "stupid tourist syndrome")...............Poland does NOT have the EURO.and this country should waken up to the fact that this country is gonna BURST when the EURO eventually comes in....It'll just giving more "business people" here a chance to rape at least their fellow countrymen, and even then at least in their "own" currency.
business skills and commerce still have to develope here i know, but the practices that are here at present, are a sure sign of what is to follow, and the future for Poland doesnt bode well no matter what you might say.!.
House prices in Krakow are currently more expensive than London FFS!!.not because of market value but because of greed..the housing market is toally STAGNANT here, and it will ruin many young Polish families future, keeping prices so high........
