News / Tesco abandon Poland [66]

Tesco & Biedronka are the crappiest stores.So unorganized,and mostly cheap products.During lockdown I once went to buy mayonnaise to make tuna salad as they were the only one open,had crappy brand with no variety.Freaking crap tasted like some motor oil and killed my expensive tuna can.Auchan & Carrfour are the best, well lit,organized and brand names with variety.Guess people like to buy cheap food.

News / Tesco abandon Poland [66]


I agree there but still the way they stock up there products and the lights etc just puts me off.I still feel that even international chains here are still not capable to do business professionally.Look at conv stores like Zabka etc have no health and beauty products and operate basically selling alcohol and grocery.They are more like mini grocery stores rather then conv stores.Biedronka looks to me like a mini cash and carry,to find what you want one has to walk around the store and might find it at some odd place.I only like there quality of pistachios thats all,meat as you said I wont know as I dont buy it here.

Work / English teachers in Poland - why are they so unhappy? [89]


Imagine trying to support a family with a teachers salary and showing on a forum that they are living a high life,even in Poland they save on every grolsch they can.Just calculate how they must live in Poland coming from UK.NO wonder they die so soon,being obese and living with a disease with no cure.

The only happiness they get is posting on a forum and dreaming the life style they could live.lol they even are not good in business the reason they tend to work as teachers and moonlight washing cars and shinning shoes.

Zabka has been sold few times,last time I think its was sold 2/3 years back to Luxembourg based CVC capital.I wonder why 7/11 of Southland corp dont enter Polish market maybe because of low turnover.

Polonia / India - review this country (as a Pole) [21]

lol ask an Indian if he is a Pakistani and watch his reaction......lol he will be so offended,but ask an Pakistani if he is an Indian and he will admit he is smiling.In fact India and Pakistan are like Palestine and Israel with almost same food and culture but hate each other.I love to Play with Indians and tell them that I am a Pakistani and ask them if they serve Beef curry or at a Pakistani restaurant ask if they have Pork kebabs lol really fun watching there reactions as they cant decide what to tell a person who looks like them.

Oh well,Poland is way lenient,you should see how they control your construction here in the States.Code enforcement officers just drive around looking,God forbid they see a green sheetrock(used for bathrooms) or any other sign and they will be ringing your door bell to inspect,lol and make you get a permit,inspections and then raise the value of your house and thus property taxes.I built a warehouse in Poland and everything went smoothly(partle because all the problems was solved by the contractor & I dont speak Polish) and was ready in 9/10 months.Try building something here and see when you can get the inspector to come pass/reject the job before cpl of weeks at least or maybe a month and then you proceed.You have to get over 20 permits and inspections and tons of paperwork to build a project.Thats why I always take a box of expensive choclates for the ladies in the Gmina office in Poland and Municipal office in the States.Also in Poland they are still lenient and let you slide if its not dangerous while here they go by the book until you know a politician or you are a financial donor.

Never happened in the last 25 years in Poland.The prices are still going up and I think will go up till they reach the average EU level.You can still pick up a deal here and there but on an average they are up.

Even the Income tax is 12.5% compared to 19.5% in here except the tenants are not A grade in Poland.Other problem is except American or International strong chains dont sign long umowa for 20/30 years but renewable for 5/10 years only.
