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.....

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.

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.

My nephew's local priest has been telling him that Halloween is the devil's work and that dressing up and collecting sweets (tick or treating) is evil and bad.
meanwhile
"Police say that 39 people died on the roads in Poland over the All Saint’s weekend, with 1880 drivers caught in charge of a vehicle under the influence of alcohol. " The News.pl
So which is the devils work?
Commemoration, carnival or carnage?

Sounds reasonable, however, I doubt the vendors were thinking of the kids in anything but monetary terms.
But a few people said it was because young children quite often get bored visiting the cemetery and can be disruptive so this was to keep them amused.

News / Upping the speed limit in Poland [92]
Only Italy has more fatalities on the road than Poland. Which is understandable as Italians are mad. (fun, but utterly nuts). Whilst Polish people are not generally crazy. I have often wondered if it hasn't something to do with the catholic que sera sera mentality.
Alternatively are cars a means for disempowered young men to regain some control and exert some aggression?
And also what about this two way middle lane that seems to exist and why do people with SUV drive right up my arse and flash their lights at me. Why do people with expensive brand new BMW's and Mercs park where ever they want.
In the town where I live, there are three Hummers, several Cayannes, lots and lots of Q7's, X5' X6', GL and ML class Mercs not to mention the plethora of BMW's and Mercs flying around brand spanking new!!!!!! Its like Essex!!!
In the development where I live one of the couples who have a 30 sqm flat and drive a new Porsche Cayanne, what is that about ??????????????
Rant rave, rant, rant rave.......
Up the speed limit let the bastard kill themselves, just well away from me.
